I focused on my school-work, because I knew I wanted to get out of the hood and BE SOMETHING. And when I was at UCLA, I found a community. A community of first-generation Xicanxs who understood me, who listened to me, who looked like me, and motivated me to pursue my dreams, my passion, my medicine. I began my own healing journey, by reconnecting to my Mexica roots, my indigenous ancestors, through ceremony & danza, I learned to love myself, my identity, and fight for justice through organizing and activism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60abf3dc39354f516f50b615/1626732792541-E0Q3H71BXHUJ141O26F7/ysm_portraits-123.jpg About - WE TEND TO BELIEVE THAT… a brown Xicana from the hood doesn’t have anywhere to go, no one to talk to, and she will get lost as another statistic. Either end-up pregnant as a teen, get killed in a drive-by, or be financially supported by a man who treats her bad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60abf3dc39354f516f50b615/1626706597641-0Z1JS96J32CZQ3EK1O7H/ysm_portraits-513.jpg About - I’M PROUD OF… being a first generation, Xicana, with a Master’s Degree Because my parents worked HARD to get me to where I am today, and this is for them and for the next 7 generations. I am proud of being a Mom of three sensitive, energetic & playful semillas. I am proud of being a business owner/entrepreneur and making my own money. And I am proud of my poetry because writing helps me heal. https://www.mariposaancestralpractices.com/home daily 1.0 2025-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60abf3dc39354f516f50b615/1626705152124-GP5WO1GB9GAKZ0KC7P16/ysm_cacao-20.jpg Home - Mariposa Ancestral Practices Is committed to creating events and gatherings for BIPOC that teach how to connect with their ancestors using ancestral medicine/healing practices and creating connections within community for support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60abf3dc39354f516f50b615/b3152a64-48ef-4759-9810-8bb4738e45e9/Collage.png Home - Meet Michelle Mojica My name is Michelle Mojica.
