 Murals are a language that people can understand and they can connect with. They spread awareness so fast. That's my way of helping humanity. My name is Lucinda Inojas and my artist's name is Lamberna. I am a community advocate activist and I use artivism to connect with community. A lot of people, they don't have a platform or are scared to speak up. You know, I've always been a fighter since I became a mother with my kids. Through art and with my murals, that's just my way of defending humanity. I was with her dad for about 12 years and then I left that relationship due to domestic violence. In 2015, I met a group of artists. They flew in to do a mural project. When I saw that community coming together, I was like, whoa, like this is all happening because of a mural? Because of artwork? When that happened, I was like, this is something I want to do. I want to give my community back what was lost, give them hope, motivation to keep moving forward and to unite and work with each other. 2017, that's when I went to Rochester, New York. I have never painted a mural by myself and the mural went viral. I think everybody was watching me at that moment to ready to take off and go, go, go, go. But it still was kind of like baby steps for me because I'm a mother of three. I was working full time and it was really hard to keep up. I always say that music and art can change people more than our own government can. So SB 1070 was a law regarding if you were undocumented, you could be potentially pulled over and if you didn't have any papers on you, they could detain you and then deport you immediately. And all these murals are going to be documenting history, important subject matters and talking about SB 1070 on where we were 10 years ago, where we're at now and how we're moving forward. Nowadays we have social media and that's such an important platform to have, especially for us artists. We can reach people across the world within seconds. I like to navigate my audience to the website because of events. People are always asking me, when are you doing another show or any type of merchandise like stickers and prints. I can't keep up with everybody. So it's like having that website is like your own little personal assistance. They can go there and get everything they need to know. We all have a purpose in this life of ours. For me, I have on that purpose and when that happens, opportunities and doors just open. If I paint a mural, there's like a thousand people that look at it. Me getting the validation from my own community, that means my artwork is having an impact on them and that's amazing to me.
