🎂 13 🎂 My sweet viejito Bruce Wayne, who stays young at heart! I’m thankful every day for this lil guy and all the ways he’s made my life better over the last 13 years. And not just my life! Lil dude’s been a therapy pup bringing smiles and cuddles to literally ✨thousands✨ during his years at Ann Richards, LASA, UT, rehabs, clinics, board meetings, and my private practice.

But it takes a village!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every Uncle and Auntie that’s cared for him and loved on him. 🫶🏽 by @texicanowl

People ask me all the time if I’m an artist. I'm a work of art, showing you the art of being a Chingona…and sometimes a Chillona. 🕶️✨💋 taken in Austin, Texas by @texicanowl

🌀 NGURA🌀Ngura (pronounced nu-ra) means Country in all Indigenous Australian languages. Its meaning embodies the deep interconnectedness between people, culture, and the natural world.

Loved visiting @newfieldstoday to see the new Arte Club, Lume, and Rococo exhibits! I’ve been eagerly waiting to see @diegomontoyastudio ‘s new Rococo inspired work and it didn’t disappoint!!

✨GLIMMERS✨ Thank you @thenewphilanthropists for hosting an inspiring evening with the incomparable @maria_la_hinojosa 💐

Hearing Maria share stories from her life, career, and the current stories she’s carrying was the glimmer of hope and resilience my heart has needed this year and in this very moment. 🫶🏽 And to receive her palabras in a room full of friends, colleagues, and community leaders was extra special.

Shoutout to the Honorable @denisecreateschange for guiding an incredible conversation! You DID THAT, hermana!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

If you only know Maria from her @npr show @latinousa , please please follow her work at Futuro Media Group, read her memoir “Once I Was You”, or listen to her Pulitzer Prize-winning podcast series “Suave”! taken in Austin PBS by @texicanowl

✨VIBING & HEALING✨ This weekend was full of beautiful memories fueled by culture, community, and dance. And it all started on Friday at VIBE DOWNTOWN, hosted by @downtownaustin 🌃

Over the last year, I’ve been blessed to work beside friends @downtownaustin and @futurefronttexas to create a weekend festival that was truly magical and highlighted all the ways Old 6th continues to evolve.

There were many highlights for me throughout the festival, but the one that stirred all the emotions in my soul was @bobbypudrido “Con Mucho Amor”. This was more than an activation; it was a chance for our LGBTQ+ siblings to be held, celebrated, and loved through cultura and community in the best way possible…A QUINCEAÑERA 🎊👑✨

There was plenty more of that magic throughout the weekend created by @whereyallatthoughatx @atxmosaicworkshop @theslowfashionfest @shakeitafrica …and you can pop over to the @downtownaustin page for all those recaps cuz ya gurl IS NOT one to remember to take pics/videos at everything. 🙃
