I spent last night at my Childhood home with my Dad. We ALWAYS stay up late talking about so many things!! Number one topic was my nieces Victoria and Ella and all of their magic... along with world events, politics, business, life projects and spirituality. Right in the midst of a dynamic conversation my Dad said “You do what your heart tells you to do and that’s it” I know these words to be true and authentic coming from a man who was incarcerated as a result of standing firm on his beliefs during a Dictatorship. The words stayed with me and will stay with me for years to come. Follow you heart... “that’s it” Since becoming aware of my Native lineage by way of my Mother who lives alongside me in spirit, I’ve become more in tune with my heart, Mother Earth and Spirit. Mum passed on 19 months ago and we only learnt of our Mapuche connection one year ago. I am still wondering why. I feel that this beautiful piece of family knowledge was not amplified as it should have been due to the racial disparity that exists in my Motherland Chile. An inequality that exists in the world at large, for hundreds of years and is being amplified now. The past two weeks have been very revealing in ways I did not expect. By feeling into and exposing myself to a wider BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) community I’ve felt... cracked open. I’ve realised that in order to do what my heart is calling me to do in this movement I must first find my own feet as a strong Woman of Colour. I am proud of my achievements and I know that listening to my heart has lead me here... but my heart is also reminding me that growth is infinite and I/we are all on a journey towards doing better which will ultimately lead to healing. So I stand before you honestly and openly. I am Denisse Marianela Vera. I am a creative, a storyteller, an intuitive, a feeler, I am the daughter of a Mother who praised me so much that I know I can achieve anything I set my mind to and her blood surges through me... Native blood, that of the Araucano, Mapuche people. I promise to do what I can, when I can, in the way I can. Now more than ever. *Macramé dress created in collaboration with @guild https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRcnYanaqA/?igshid=3tf7tfo1lofl

Cleo’s journey. From Mother Nature and back. . As soon as my eyes took in all the beauty of this shot by @brandonscottphoto, I was instantly transported to the moment I received the inspiration for our dear Cleo top . It was our first night in the Andes mountain ranges, the night before my fiancé and I embarked on our hike to Aconcagua base camp. We were surrounded by Raw and textured terrain... dazzling mountainous landscapes, a crisp and heavenly breeze. . I woke up at 3am with Cleo on my mind... the lines, the cut... it was all there in my mind waiting to be born. I sketched fast and sent instructions to my primary knotter at the time so she could get started. If felt urgent so I challenged her to knot and to follow my sketch up to the point that she felt confident. . On return to Australia I felt creatively blocked and not ready to complete Cleo until one Full moon night. I draped and knotted and un-knotted and re-knotted until I knew she was ready. I knew from that very moment that she was special. . How is it that Cleo found her way into my mind in the Andes mountains and now she has found her way back to the mountains?... this time in Tulum, Mexico. Why is it that when I look at this photo I feel that Cleo is home? . Why? . ...because the mountains were her birthplace and she has found her way home. . Now you see her before you, magically captured by a gifted creative soul. Our divine, Cleo top... born of Mother Nature... interpreted by my hands... presented to you on a goddess @ankuanku_ 🌬. . Thank you for taking the time to read her story and I hope you like her xx. .

Custom creation for @juanpa_global. . Swipe to see a little time lapse snap shot of the making process. Both Helen and I were working on this one together to get it out in time. Then Emily did the final Quality control review before we took some snaps and sent it out 📦🛫. . All the elements came together just in time. I dedicate this post to my team for being so adaptable in every scenario and for always knotting and working from the heart . ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻✊🏼. . #denissemvera #macrame #macramay #macrame #modernmacrame #handmade #wearableart #art https://www.instagram.com/p/B_vW43InYaD/?igshid=1rx9yhy8bep6i
