Chiquis recognized by LA County Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath during Women’s History Month

On Tuesday, March 24, Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath (Third District) honored Chiquis, a three-time Latin Grammy Award–winning singer, during Women’s History Month for her contributions as an artist, entrepreneur and advocate, and for her dedication to uplifting women and Latino communities.

“This Women’s History Month, I am proud to honor Chiquis. As a proud Latina from our Third District, she has consistently shown up for our community, supporting immigrant families, helping those in need and standing with wildfire-impacted communities,” said Horvath. “Through her voice and platform, she uplifts women, inspires confidence and reminds us all what leadership in action looks like. May her light continue to shine on generations to come.”

Chiquis is widely recognized for using her platform to showcase authenticity and resilience, while breaking barriers in the entertainment industry and creating space for conversations around identity, healing and empowerment.

Last year she dropped a new single called “Pa’ Mi Gente,” a song dedicated to all the hardworking Latinos. In her video, she features maids, construction workers, nannies and farmworkers, jobs that are typically known to be taken by the Latino community. Since Donald Trump took office in 2025, his administration has targeted many farm locations where immigration raids took place, like in Fresno and Oxnard.

During critical times, the singer has shown up for her community in many ways, not only as an artist, but as someone who genuinely cares, by attending protests, partnering with farmworker organizations and helping them during vulnerable times.

“Thank you Lindsey for recognizing me. It’s such an honor to be recognized in this way. I will continue to help my community, to help with women, to empower them in anything that I do. I wanted to tell you if anyone had said no and told me that you can, I am here to tell you that it is absolutely possible,” said Chiquis.

A special reception honoring Chiquis was held before the Board of Supervisors meeting and was attended by women leaders across the Third District and Los Angeles County. Joining  Horvath were Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, L.A. County Assessor Jeff Prang, Burbank Councilmember Nikki Perez, Glendale Councilmember Elen Asatryan, Glendora Councilmember Karen Davis, Malibu Councilmember Marianna Riggins, San Fernando Councilmember Maria Solorio, Walnut Councilmember Kaylee May Law along with other women from various industries, including writers, advocates and podcasters.

“I remember meeting your mom several years ago at the Imagen Awards, and obviously she set a standard, and then it continues in the familia, and I love that,” said Solis. “But you represent our community, Latinas and las familias, so thank you for letting us honor you.”

On March 7, the singer brought “Alma De Luz: A Ceremony of Sound & Soul” to the Luckman Fine Arts Complex at Cal State LA. The intimate concert invited the audience to connect deeply with each song, while also incorporating a wellness element that encouraged both Chiquis and attendees to align and share in the same energy throughout the experience. In the second part of the event, Chiquis will take the stage to host a live taping of her podcast,  “Chiquis and Chill,”  offering an intimate and unfiltered look into her life, evolution and personal journey.

During the ceremony, Chiquis invited her manager, Richard Allen Bull, whom she calls “Dadeger” onstage to reflect on being by her side since the beginning of her career and witnessing her growth into the person she is today.

“Everyone on the team sees what she does on a regular basis. She's just so authentic and she loves so much, and she is the soul of light, she's ‘Alma de Luz.’ She's one of the bravest people I have ever known in my life. Listen, if I had to deal with what women deal with what you guys deal with on a regular basis and what she does I would hide in a cave and you'd never see me again,” Bull said. “She is incredible, and her power motivates other women, other men and other humans.”
