Erandi is a current member of the collective Ireta P’urhépecha, where she practices cultural preservation, grows Indigenous feminist spaces, and strengthens her connection to Nana Echeri (mother earth). Since graduating from the University of Washington – Tacoma in 2024 with a degree in Ethnic, Gender, and Labor Studies, her journey continues to search for how to support BIPOC communities in cultivating spaces for collective healing.
