This one's a special one for us Bautista sisters! Today, we're sitting down with our lovely mother who also happens to be the OG lady of LA SERRANITA & proud owner of Royalty Cleaners LA. During this hour, we talk all about her childhood and educational goals back in Oaxaca, her migration journey to LA and into independent entrepreneurship, and her newest venture into acting/modeling!

BTW, this isn't the first episode we've recorded with our mom here at LA SERRANITA! You can listen to our Mother's Day conversation with her here: https://rss.com/podcasts/laserranita/

Director and photographer Brittany Bravo has spent her career telling stories rooted in love, family, and culture. In this conversation, the Bravo Studios founder shares her path into photography and explains how she pulls from her Mexican and Costa Rican roots for artistic inspiration. From campaigns with Rare Beauty, Apple, and Nike to her deeply personal project Immigration Is Sacred, Brittany continues to use her lens to advocate for several communities. We also get a first look at what's next: her debut narrative short film, Parí, releasing late 2026.
