👋🏽 Hola !

Feliz Friday, friend! I'm kicking off with a #FlashbackFriday snap of my early protest OOTD because sometimes a little style rebellion speaks louder than words. Sharing lotsa throwbacks today. Let's get inspired, keep that fuego burning, and dive in to this week's:

🌟 #FlashbackFriday from my instagram grid 🌟

I took a picture of my OOTD back when I first noticed the perversions happening in American society and added not-so-subtle pieces to my wardrobe that served as a silent protest and artistic expression. Are you following the Pocho Stuff Channel on IG, ? 🎭🇲🇽✨

OPTIMISM: 💖

A quote from one of the greatest civil rights organizers:

“Sometimes you have to lose a battle to win the war.”

— Dolores Huerta

COOL FIND: 🕵🏽‍♂️

While doom-scrolling this week, I came across an old ad that the multicultural marketer in me truly loved and wanted to share with you! It's Grupo Modelo's 2016 Corona commercial that’s all about uniting the Americas and tearing down those imaginary walls. Playing off Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan, the video shouts “Desfronterízate” and celebrates our shared values across the continent. Part of a series that kicked off just before the 2016 U.S. elections, this spot and the larger campaign, inspire us to break free from limits and chase our dreams. Head over to YouTube for the full video and let me know—are you ready to Desfronterízate?

HOMEWORK: 📝

Volunteer Together: Find a local organization that serves a community that you and your family also support. This weekend spend some time aligning on a mission to get behind and identify groups and spaces that could use your gift of time. Spoiler alert, all nonprofits need volunteers. Volunteer alone or together.

PS --politics are not generally my vibe, this week's email aims to inspire you to stand up for what's right. Right for everyone. Love and equality scare the powers that be. Stand in love, speak up, and let's keep fighting for equality for all. xo
