Queer Magic: Identity, Creativity and the Courage To Be Yourself

This week on Entre Tías y Amiguis, we’re talking about queerness, creativity, and the power of being your full self, even when the world tells you to shrink.

In this vibrant and heartfelt conversation, Adri is joined by therapist, creative, and educator Luis Cornejo (he/they), founder of Queer Magic Entertainment. Together they explore what it means to grow up navigating strict cultural and religious expectations, and how reclaiming joy, style, and identity became a pathway back to self-love.

From healing inner child wounds to redefining tío/tíe legacy outside of binaries, Luis shares how queerness is not just about who you are, it’s about what becomes possible when you stop performing and start creating from the heart.

This episode is for the ones who were told they were “too much” or “not enough.” The ones building joy where there used to be shame. The ones learning to soften, be seen, and come home to themselves.

Together, we talk about:

• Living outside the binary and reclaiming visibility on your terms
• Self-expression as resistance, healing, and celebration
• Healing from religious trauma while honoring your truth
• Unlearning gender roles and redefining masculinity
• Creating liberatory spaces for Queer and BIPOC communities
• Becoming the tíe/tío you needed as a kid
• Holding boundaries, joy, and softness at the same time

Luis reminds us that healing isn’t always quiet—and that joy, style, and softness can be revolutionary. You don’t have to follow a blueprint. You get to create something entirely your own.

This is for everyone learning to take up space. Tune in when you’re ready to remember you were never too much—you were always becoming.
