I can’t believe how much time has passed since the last sugar pilgrimage. That’s what struck me the most. Returning for a fifth year and seeing a young Dani all grown up made me weep, Don Diego is a little older now and struggling to walk some days, Lucy and Rosita have become my matriarchs, my mothers, or I their son. Even my grandmother’s mango tree looked a little taller this year.

My uncle gave me some pan de muerto before I left, bread meant to celebrate the dead, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of death after that. I still can’t put my finger on it. So much has changed this last year, pilgrims lost to violence, cane workers parted with loved ones, and a changing Atencingo is struggling to keep the cane workers safe.

The wildest absurdity is that we are all forced to confront time when we meet. To see new wrinkles form and new faces appear. Dani jokes that one day I’ll be an elder like Don Diego, and that she’ll still be young like me. An odd reunion of exuberant friends that meet once a year to celebrate the sugar harvest, and yet they have become my deepest bonds. I cannot imagine a world without them. As the world hardens, they are there every year to remind me of who I am.

The promise of our town is simple, journey 100-miles to the biggest church in Mexico City, ask Our Lady of Guadalupe for a wish, and promise to return three years. We are all growing up together, choosing to walk life together, and most of us will have the honor of dieing together. Felix completed his 42nd march this year. Some pilgrims have journeyed 30, 40, 50 years now, a testament to their madness. This is my fifth walk, my 500th mile by foot, and still my promise to the Lady of Guadalupe is the same..to return. So here I am.

I finished my pilgrimage and returned to my grandmothers house only to attend a rezo, a communal prayer for a deceased family member. I know this year was meant to teach me about death, or prepare me for it. Or maybe it was meant to teach me about life. I don’t know and it haunts me.
Thank you for believing in me. I’ve given 300 speeches across the U.S. — Bible Belt. Deep South. Borderlands. Northeast. Appalachia. Pacific Northwest. Rust Belt. Blue State. Red State. You name it. To the orators, activists, and artists: keep your conviction

Stood up—again and again—for the dignity of immigrants because that is everything to me

They told us oranges were meant to calm our thirst, but I won’t say too much more. I catch myself not wanting to talk about the pilgrimage this year. 100 mile walk to our Basilica and all of that to confront myself. This marks my fourth year, and with each walk, the moments have become more precious, more delicate, and I feel the need to keep them closer to my heart — to preserve them. I keep thinking about the rose bushes this year, and their frightening thorns, and the raging red ants that would crawl up our sandals, and the burning blisters on the pilgrims around me. To see my brothers and sisters ache—it hurt.

Should I talk about the dehydration that began to set in — a suffocating thirst that I wish on no one. Or about the hallucinations that distorted the roads we walked on, a dizziness that blurred our angels from our demons. Or the silence. Oh, the silence. It was in that quiet that I met my most wounded self, and learned to tame him, to calm him, and to finally hear him. Draping her shawl around him, I’ve let the roses protect him now.

I’ve learned to love all of the pilgrims. A wondrous group of souls and characters that have become my closest friends. An annual pilgrimage for the devout, for the delusioned and for the brave. I’m so proud to have made it four years now and I hope to one day walk like our elders, like Don Diego, like Don Raymundo. I’ve learned to respect the wrinkles they’ve earned from these annual walks — 30, 40 years and counting. An accomplishment that outweighs anything that society can give me. I can see a glaze over their eyes—the holy.

I began my 3-year promise as a broken pilgrim, in search of miracles and a divine mother to guide me. Lost in my own hurt, I arrived and humbly asked our Lady of Guadalupe for a wish, something to believe and hold on to, to prove her divinity. A miracle to help me believe. My promise was to return for 3 years in exchange for a granted wish. As I return on year 4 I can’t help but bow. I am here to say thank you, I believe now. And I will return as long as I am able to march along the pilgrims of Atencingo.
🎂 spent my birthday morning trying to balance this cherry lollipop. feeling so so so happy today
You would think that over time the butterflies would go away but here they are, dancing in my heart louder than ever. With immense joy and gratitude, I’m thrilled to announce my 2023 speaking tour, "Flower Child." This season I'm embracing my generational gifts, and learning to lean into my purpose with the courage of a budding rose and the grace of its petals.
I’ve been thinking a lot about miracles lately. I know I’m being guided through it all but the ground feels muddy and lonely at times and there are days where I just need to rest. I’ve caught myself looking for signs lately, anything to rejuvenate my faith.

In 2019, I made a promise to our matriarchal saint, the Lady of Guadalupe, that I’d complete our sugar pilgrimage three times. A 100-mile walk from our local chapel through Mexico’s grueling terrains. It’s believed that if you complete the three journeys She grants you a wish.

I’m proud of myself for walking through the pain. I’m proud of my legs for carrying me when my thoughts were too heavy to lift my head. I stared at the ground the whole way but I did it. This third year I wished for a miracle, something to restore my faith. So I guess now I just have to close my eyes and wait.
Here we go. Feeling a little wilted this tour but I’ll give it my all either way. 🥀🍃Your favorite prayer would be greatly appreciated because I know that as long as I have you by my side everything will be okay. And when the night comes, in my heart I’ll know that I’ve given it my all. Until then I’ll roar like thunder, loud until the jungle rumbles, and together, at last, we can all watch the roses, daisies and daffodils finally bloom.
33 today. My eyes are a little puffy and tired from tour still. A few days ago I told my homegirl that I’ve never imagined myself living a long life. I’ve never pictured myself growing old and I could never really explain why. I’ve always felt like a shooting star, really just passing by which is why I move so quickly—with such urgency. That’s my truth. I know the promise of tomorrow may never come so everyday feels divine. Thank you for believing in me and for letting me shine bright. I do everything with my community in mind and hope to do right by you every day. There’s so much to imagine and dream still but today I’m just happy to be here, with you. So, here’s to many more years of brightening up the night sky.
The Wildflowers Tour. I dedicate this tour to the flowers untamed. To the wildness that took over you. To the roots that were never meant to grow. To the bulbs that blossomed early, and to the ones that bloomed late. I’m rooting for you. Today, and everyday.
I was looking at photos of volcanoes the other day and came across one that took my breath away. I was so mesmerized to the point that I was loosing sleep. I felt lured, like the volcano was singing to me and keeping me awake with its song. I found out that it was in my father’s hometown in El Salvador so I booked a last minute flight. I’ve never had much of a relationship with our volcanic soils despite being half Salvadoran.

You’ll learn quickly that I’m pretty impulsive and slightly delusional when I find creativity. I can pull inspiration from pretty unconventional sources, like fire, lava, and redness. It was fire that initially attracted me to the cane workers in Mexico. I remember seeing them burn fields for the first time and feeling like I was in a complete trance. Today, I feel pulled by the lava flowing underneath the volcanoes of El Salvador. But it feels different this time. It feels explosive.

I’ve never had a real relationship with my father which is why I think El Salvador has always felt so foreign to me. But finding home and self has always been a common theme in my work, so I know that it’s time to finally confront what’s been absent for so long. Standing on these volcanic soils feels heavy but I know my ancestors are trying to guide me. I know that they’re trying to broaden my perspective and sharpen my eyes. So I am here to see.

I rarely let people into my creative process because it can be a deeply painful journey for me. There’s no rational thinking and most logical minds struggle with my deep intuition and impulsivity. Letting the wrong people in can be very deflating for my spirit. I’ve decided to be more open about what’s going on in my little mind for my own safety. I’ve sat with a lot of anger and pain lately, a lot of redness, and I know I am here to find a way to channel it, or tame it, I don’t know. Or maybe it’s time to become the volcano.
