Feministing Jamz: “Que me tome la noche” – Javiera Mena

Jamz’ favorite queer Chilena, the inimitable Javiera Mena, has announced the latest single off last year’s Otra Era, and has released an epic new lyrics video to go along with it. After dabbling in minimalism in the video for her previous single, colorful, everything-all-of-the-time Mena is back. Watch above for a magical world of rainbows, purple CGI cats that can be ridden, teal cassette tapes, and postcards bearing la Javi’s face.

Verónica Bayetti Flores has spent the last years of her life living and breathing reproductive justice. She has led national policy and movement building work on the intersections of immigrants' rights, health care access, young parenthood, and LGBTQ liberation, and has worked to increase access to contraception and abortion, fought for paid sick leave, and demanded access to safe public space for queer youth of color. In 2008 Verónica obtained her Master’s degree in the Sexuality and Health program at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. She loves cooking, making art, listening to music, and thinking about the ways art forms traditionally seen as feminine are valued and devalued. In addition to writing for Feministing, she is currently spending most of her time doing policy work to reduce the harms of LGBTQ youth of color's interactions with the police and making sure abortion care is accessible to all regardless of their income.

Verónica is a queer immigrant writer, activist, and rabble-rouser.
