New Season, New Rebrand, New Magic

In partnership with

Hola chingona,

August has already been a whirlwind, full of changes, growth, and a reminder to slow down and savor the present.

This past weekend, I hosted my second collage workshop. This time in collaboration with Mariza from Amigas on Tour and hosted at Oh Comadre’s Candles in Downey, CA. It was my first time visiting her beautiful space, and the energy we created together was puro chingona power. Women came ready to be vulnerable, to manifest, and to turn paper into prayers. ✨

Every time I share my love for collage, I’m reminded that art is more than creativity, it’s healing. It’s a way to see ourselves, to dream out loud, and to hold space for one another. My corazón left fuller than it arrived.

And speaking of change, if you didn’t hear yet, I’ve officially rebranded from Chingona Inc. to Viridiana Osio | Create Like a Chingona. This rebrand is more than just a name. It’s me stepping into my voice, owning my story, and creating a space where first-gen Latinas and creatives can feel seen and celebrated.

With rebrand comes updates:
🌙 New website launching soon (the current shop will close for 2–3 weeks during the transition)
🌙 Shop 20% off before the switch USE CODE: AMOR20 — consider it a little thank-you for being here through it all.

🌙 Beginner Illustrator Class happening TOMORROW at 3:30pm PST — and you can still save 20% with code: latina20

The lesson this month? Change is uncomfortable, but also beautiful. Growth asks us to let go, to pause, and sometimes to step back before we step forward. I’ve been learning to rest more, disconnect, and be present, and honestly, it feels good.

Gracias for being here through the shifts, the experiments, and the magic in between.

With love + collage scraps,
Viridiana
