Behind the Name Ixchel

I wanted the name of my shop to be close to my heritage. Including my efforts to reconnect with my Maya roots. Ixchel is the Mayan goddess of the moon, from the Yucatán region. I wanted all my art work to be inclusive to BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color). From what I have learned in the philanthropy world people tend to leave out the Indigenous when using BIPOC. I truly believe in and everyone should see their communities celebrated through art work and in general media.
