Absolute pitch. A light-up keyboard. Jodi DiPiazza was singing before she could form sentences and taught herself piano at four. By ten she had entered the Mannes School of Music composition honors program, sung with Katy Perry at the Beacon Theatre, and spent the next decade performing at over 200 events while studying jazz and pop with Luciano Salvatore for fifteen years.

Believe is her debut album at twenty-four, and it is the first time the public hears music she wrote for herself. She composed the instrumentation, arranged every part, and plays piano on every track. One song is built from Fred Rogers’ sayings, written for his nephew, who was her composition instructor at Rollins College.

Estado de México. Illustration. Refusal. Paula Gómez is an illustrator who paints in terracottas, deep reds and saturated greens she calls un apapacho visual, a visual embrace rooted in Mexican market stalls, traditional textiles and painted walls.

People told Paula her whole life that she looks “angry” when she isn’t. She turned that misread into a visual language, characters who frown, stare and walk with purpose, faces built on true female power.

Beatriz de Padilla was born into slavery in 1620s colonial Mexico. She owned property, claimed inheritance, and faced the Inquisition on charges of witchcraft. She walked free.

March 6 was Mexico’s National Day of Afromexican Women — a date to honour a community of over 2.6 million people who have been present, essential, and systematically erased from the national record since before the country had a name.

Inti Hidalgo Reyes is a fashion student from Pahuatlán, Puebla, who presented Barraca during the 2025 edition of Pasarela Ibero in Mexico City. His work is situated within emerging Latin American fashion practices that draw directly from local territories, materials, and ways of understanding dress as cultural construction.

Barraca includes pieces developed over more than 600 hours of work. The collection features an oversized blazer with extended proportions referencing nahual legends, alongside garments made with henequen fibers, evoking the roofs of rural homes. Presented under the concept n tal tatiochiual (“la tierra bendita”), the collection reflects a process grounded in respect, collaboration, and pride in origin, bringing local knowledge into a contemporary runway context.

Mil gracias to the artists, organizers, partners, and communities who showed up, shared their work, and trusted us along the way.. We’re stepping into the new year con ganas, continuing to build relationships that hold culture beyond moments or trends — the kind that stay, grow, and actually move things forward.

Over the past week, our community showed up in force.

You tagged organizations working close to people, culture, and long-term change. We listened.

Three initiatives stood out — for the urgency of their work, and for the way they build impact from inside communities.

✨ Volver a Casa VR
This organization works inside prisons in Chile and Mexico, using multidisciplinary workshops and virtual reality to reconnect people deprived of liberty with their families. Their work centers dignity, family bonds, and reintegration — intervening in the carceral system through art, technology, and cultural mediation.

✨Originaria
A collective initiative amplifying contemporary poetry written by women in non-hegemonic and Indigenous languages. Through readings, publications, and listening-based encounters, Originaria opens space for linguistic diversity, cultural dialogue, and the circulation of voices often excluded from dominant literary platforms.

✨Tejido Plurisexual
A network of Indigenous tr****ti existences working collectively from territory, ancestry, and shared knowledge. Their work affirms life, diversity, and community responsibility through embodied practice, memory, and collective care.

Nativas will work alongside these initiatives to strengthen visibility, expand reach, and mobilize community support where it’s most needed.

Redistribution begins with a story.
Ecosystems move when that story and resources — symbolic and material — circulate together.

Thank you all for your support.

The in Turin gathered some of the most forward-thinking organizations working at the intersection of social impact, culture, and community innovation.

Foundation invited us to share a panel with and , exploring how local stories evolve into systemic impact and how creativity becomes a catalyst for social change. Our Founder’s contribution reflected what guides our work: transforming creativity from privilege into opportunity, amplifying community-rooted creation into global visibility, and grounding redistribution as a core principle. We spoke about creativity as a methodology for impact.

These exchanges reaffirm the relevance of what we build each day: a platform that brings to light stories once erased and creates real connection between brands, institutions, and the diaspora of Indigenous and mixed-heritage women whose talent, vision, and cultural depth are reshaping the future.

“I’ve never seen Bario this full for an exhibition.”

An incredible crowd filled Bar Bario and spilled onto the streets of Amsterdam West on July 31 for the opening of No Soy De Aquí, Ni Soy de Allá by Brunei Deneumostier.

The exhibition gave space to stories of q***r Latine diaspora, resonating far beyond. It spoke to other migrant groups who felt seen through the images.

“The exhibition felt relatable for other migrant groups, not only from LATAM or the q***r community.”

The community and friends were there to celebrate: , , .santana.alvarez, , .dz. A DJ set from .music set the tone, with behind the lens.

“You could feel the story through the images and the message being advocated for”

The project was possible thanks to the community support.

Much love to everyone who contributed and showed up, special thanks to Renee Waters, Mapi Arce, Vera Santana Alvarez, Tatiana Aravas, Anna Vos Lemmhuis, Silvia Sarapuu, Axelle Becane, Nadine Haselier, and Mahmoud Fayyaz. Much gratitude to our partners at Prints by Art Print Amsterdam, .bario curator extraordinary Chanah Roodenburg , , het Cultuurfonds Noord-Holland , and . With the funds raised, we are able to make a significant donation to , standing in solidarity with their vital work.

This was the first chapter of a living project that will keep unfolding across formats and cities.

🦜 COMING SOON: Starting September 4, No Soy De Aquí, Ni Soy De Allá will continue as a monthly column on nativa-s.com , Brunei takes us inside the profound inspiring stories. Follow for updates.
