How Flores Is Reclaiming the Borderlands Narrative

The R&B singer’s new EP, The Lives They Left, is an homage to her indigenous roots, her childhood on the U.S.-Mexico border and the strength of women. Flores talks about the message behind the music, the importance of people with these lived experiences telling these stories, and the relationship of indigeneity to Latinidad.Follow  Flores on Instagram @floresitadeluna.
