Empowering Communities & Changing the Narrative

Hola, I’m Yocelyn Riojas—an illustrator, visual designer, and artivist born in Mexico and raised in Eagle Pass, Texas. I’m currently back in my hometown, reconnecting with the stories and culture of the borderlands.

I use illustration, design, and visual art as tools to amplify social movements and work toward our collective liberation, advocating for environmental justice, racial equality, women’s rights, immigration, and more.
