Angie Michelle Barraza is a painter and has used art to help her navigate through her struggles from grade school as well as an adult. She expresses her struggles in having been groomed by an older boy during her youth, being mixed-race here in the borderland (Afro-Latina and Spanish speaking) as well as reevaluating her life while she was healing from her trauma.

Angie Michelle Barraza now utilizes her art to enhance other artists voices in now being a member of the Arts Association as well as putting forward an artist of the week. Check out her Healing Arts podcast coming up this week!

Our podcasts are for those in recovery, survivors, and the everyday people who wish to be inspired by local/traditional artists who reveal their art, how they came to be, challenges (including those of intersectionality), and their current community outreach.
