This was special.

I spoke to Bren Lopez, Co-Founder of Diaspora about her journey to creating a party that has become a cultural movement. Her stories and experience lead us beyond the dancing and into the foundation and heart of the collective behind CDMX's hottest party. There are touching stories from Brenda's childhood and reflections on becoming. We touch on BLM, community building, and the Afro-Mexican experience.
