Since 2016, we have been amplifying and celebrating the diversity of Latin American female and queer voices. We have been making noise and working for more representation and participation of these marginalized voices within in Latin American creative industries. We want to use pop culture as a vehicle for change and transformation and we consider it essential that these diverse and unique stories, perspectives and truths of women and marginalized voices are heard and amplified. There is not one way to be successful, not one way to be a woman, and we need to demystify and widen what it looks like to be successful as a creative+activist!

In less than four years, we’ve organized festivals in cities such as Santiago, Valparaíso, Ciudad de México, Lima; conversation panels in Buenos Aires, Las Vegas, Los Angeles (CA), Valdivia to name a few; published the first investigation on female representation in latin american music festivals; workshops, content, and created networks of collaboration and community throughout the region!
