i was in shock to find out that my photo of @okaysophi was published on vogue today. my hands are shaking because this all feels so unreal.. i’m crying tears of joy as i’m writing this because all my manifestations are coming to life. my career is picking up, i’ll be going to my dream school in a few months, i’m flourishing in every way possible & now vogue? i can’t believe it.
this is all because of the hard work & dedication i’ve put into my passions as an artist. everything i am today is from long nights, a whole bunch of no’s, and an extremely ambitious mindset. everything i have today is because i humbly earned it while going through different stages of adversity in my journey. i come from a family of trabajadores, where no matter what happened we would always pick ourselves up and had the ganas to come back even harder than before. i know this is my path & i will never stop shooting and creating my success story.
big special thank you to Sophi (whom i’m so proud of for this interview) the inspiring individual that allowed me to shoot her grace. as well as @liviarosejohnson the queen that connected us & does an incredible job with literally everything she puts her talents into. (follow @multiimedia btw, Liv’s agency that amplifies + represents POC/Black individuals) 🤍

swipe to see the rest of our shoot!! the interview will be in my bio, it was written by @akili_ 🦋

THIS IS CHINGONAS UNIDAS.

we are a latina-run event & artist collective based in queens, nyc.
what started with us dropping “know your rights” cards around queens neighborhoods to protect immigrants, families, and local businesses from ICE, slowly turned into something much bigger than we could’ve imagined: a community rooted in protection, art, culture, and love for our people. (special thank you to @gracemcnallydotcom for coming along with me on these drop offs 🥹).

my grandparents are the root of all of this. they were the first in my family to immigrate to New York, forced to leave their children behind in Guatemala in hopes of creating a better future for them one day. that sacrifice opened the door to every opportunity my family has today, including the life i get to live.

because of them, i will always protect immigrants.
and as an artist, i will always protect artists too.

since then, chingonas unidas has grown into a beautiful collective creating community-oriented and artist-centered events throughout nyc. from domino nights to ragers. we got 4 solid ones down already, and many more to go.

this is our introduction, loud and proud.

next one: june 13th.
thank you so much to everyone that has supported us so far & thank you to my beautiful & talented friend group that has helped bring these events to life.🫂 - tiff

THIS IS CHINGONAS UNIDAS.

we are a latina-run event & artist collective based in queens, nyc.
what started with us dropping “know your rights” cards around queens neighborhoods to protect immigrants, families, and local businesses from ICE, slowly turned into something much bigger than we could’ve imagined: a community rooted in protection, art, culture, and love for our people. (special thank you to @gracemcnallydotcom for coming along with me on these drop offs 🥹).

my grandparents are the root of all of this. they were the first in my family to immigrate to New York, forced to leave their children behind in Guatemala in hopes of creating a better future for them one day. that sacrifice opened the door to every opportunity my family has today, including the life i get to live.

because of them, i will always protect immigrants.
and as an artist, i will always protect artists too.

since then, chingonas unidas has grown into a beautiful collective creating community-oriented and artist-centered events throughout nyc. from domino nights to ragers. we got 4 solid ones down already, and many more to go.

this is our introduction, loud and proud.

next one: june 13th.
thank you so much to everyone that has supported us so far & thank you to my beautiful & talented friend group that has helped bring these events to life.🫂 - tiff

april 2024 was the first time i went to visit my sister & sister in law in mcallen, texas. i had documented the whole trip because not only was it a brand new place for me, but everything felt extremely familiar. it’s the closest i’ve ever physically been to guatemala also since mcallen is so close to mexico. i didn’t expect to feel right at home, especially being from the crazy city that nyc is lol. the bandas, the bailes, the food, the families, the self expression without apology, all the open love around me- i fell so in love with the town quickly. i was observing intimacy in ways that felt impactful to me because intimacy is not just romantic; it’s cultural, generational, inherited. even visiting rio grande felt extremely important and emotionally connecting, because i was able to silently honor the innocent lives that were lost while crossing the river, and the ones that succeeded at it. i shared a moment with my father, holding a deep gratitude for his own immigration journey and for the path that led to us being here.

all in all, every time i visit mcallen it always feels intentional and special, especially with the beautiful family i have there. i love the feeling of belonging. 💌
