About me
I am the youngest of 6 children born to Mexican parents who, like most immigrants that come to the U.S., came in search of a better life. I was born in LA and raised in the Inland Empire (IE), deeply immersed in my Chicano culture. I grew up in the hood amidst a lot of tragedy, dysfunction, and broken dreams. And yet, right there in the middle of it all was soooo much unnoticed beauty. Early on I learned that I could create my own universe. To escape, I painted, drew, drowned myself in music and films. I created my own world by any means possible. My love of design soon blossomed and I thought I would use my artistry to become an architect. But, by my early teen years I had fallen in love with something else, something bigger—Hip Hop.
Captivated by the lifestyle, gaudy gear, unapologetic self-expression, and the art form, by 17 years old I became a master of stealing my parents’ cars to sneak off to Hip Hop shows in LA multiple times a week. I began painting music-inspired earrings and wearing them to shows. They quickly became a topic of conversation and frequently led to custom requests. 14 years later those requests turned into what is now Honey B Gold, a jewelry business with items I design, create and source that are influenced by my chicano culture and love of hip hop.
I pride myself in being an opinionated, unapologetic, imperfect, self-empowered, crazy/beautiful, constantly healing, fuck it you only live once, never regret shit just grow, type of down ass bitch, and I'm here to remind the home girls that they are too.
