Ixya Herrera on Breaking Free from Latina Stereotypes & Embracing Her Inner "Adelita" (Part 4)

Ixya Herrera is a Mexican music singer and daughter of Chicano activist/professor, renowned harpist, and Nahuatl Scholar Fermin Herrera. She has sung in both Spanish and Nahuatl all around the U.S. and Mexico. She is one of Mexican music’s star vocalists and gems!

In Part 4 of her episode, Ixya and I discuss how she uses her artistry, style choices, and identity to embrace her Mexican femininity. She discusses breaking free from stereotypes, colorism, and over-sexualization of Latina women. 

She also gives great tips on how she’s surviving COVID as an artist and how it’s more than okay to work multiple passions besides music as a career! Shoutout to day jobs and multiples passions!
