Episode 27: Magic is Fucking Real with Chiquita Brujita

Many of us clock in and clock out when it comes to working on our creative projects. However, in episode 27 Vicky and Key chat with Chiquita Brujita, a third generation Nuyorican bruja and magic maker, who embodies her art day in and day out as a performance artist. 

Chiquita’s life has led her down a path of performance and nurturing the souls of those around her. She uses dance and the energy of community to bring people together in a celebration of the once taboo culture of brujería.

In this episode, Chiquita shares her exciting but unplanned career path that features tarot readings, building altars in the club, and founding the Brooklyn Brujería Festival in 2018. You’ll also hear why you should consider letting life lead you, the power of manifestation, and using joy as medicine.
