I went to a cultural festival with my mom today and I go into a stand to buy a necklace from a Wichí (indigenous people from the North of Argentina) man and when I come back I find my mom looking at me and crying and she says: "I'm so moved that you are interested in this, if you didn't care...it would die..."
Had a sweet morning to myself reading poet/writer/performer/scholar Lyla June’s incredible work, including this essay about the need to reclaim indigenous European roots. I think this is a huge part of the healing the world needs today.

CHICANO CULTURE BEGINS WITH INDIGENOUS ROOTS
Chicano pride didn’t begin in the streets of Los Angeles — it began long before, in the spirit of the Mexica, Maya, Zapotec, and all the Indigenous peoples whose heartbeat still echoes in our words, art, and traditions today.
The word “Chicano” traces back to “Mexica.”
The dream of Aztlán — the ancestral homeland — inspired an entire movement for identity and justice.
From maize and danza to murals and Nahuatl words we still speak, every piece of our culture carries ancient memory.
Chicano culture isn’t borrowed — it’s born from the soil, languages, and spirit of the first nations of this land.
So when we celebrate Chicano music, food, and art, we’re not just celebrating the present — we’re honoring the ancestors who built its foundation.
Without Indigenous roots, there is no Chicano culture. Stand with the people who gave it life — and keep that spirit alive.

Roots
I'm going back to Oaxaca in May! Super fucking stoked.
I'm going to get back in touch with my roots and my culture. There are so many archeological sites that we are going to visit.
I really need to leave all of this for a while.
