The stories we inherit are not always the full truth.
As new voices rise—even when they shake the legacies we were taught to honor—we must listen.
The recent allegations shared by Dolores Huerta about Cesar Chavez remind us of something deeper than history—
they remind us of the courage it takes to speak.
At Monarca Art Space, we are a women-owned, women-dreamed, women-powered space.
And we stand together.
We believe women.
Not only when it is easy, but especially when it is uncomfortable—
when it challenges power,
from presidents to local leaders to the people within our own homes.
There will come a day when every woman lays down her silence—
no longer protecting the one who harmed her,
whether by word or by hand.
And in that unshielded light,
they will finally face
the consequences
of a woman who chose herself.
Healing
