Events- Dia de los Muertos @ Molaa
This was a dope event I participated in down in Long Beach, California. I hadn’t been to the museum before and after participating in this I plan to come back! For this “Dia de Muertos” event I set up with 30-40 other local vendors who were selling jewelry, pottery, comics, clothing, candles, and more.
During the pandemic I participated on a panel discussion for MOLAAA with some good friends Cathy Camper and Isabel Quintero alongside moderator Professor Frederick Aldama which was awesome. Watch it here.
I drove down with my family, hit the Lightbox Expo on my second day out there and then hit Molaa on day 3. I brought my whole set up.
While I was there I met some new friends such as Con Todos Press, Little Dreamers Publishing , my neighbors Rituals N Potions and For My Homegirls and had a great time. I’m hoping to do more school and library visits in the Los Angeles area so if you know of someone hit me up.

I didn’t get a chance to go inside or see all the performances but I caught a glimpse of a the Mariachi Cumbia and one of the alters outside. it was beautiful and somber being that ICE has been terrorizing Black and Brown folks in LA, Chicago, Portland, NYC, here in the Bay and many other places.
This is a short video showing some more photos from the event.
