Wendy Cubillo (b. East Los Angeles, California in 2004) tells stories related to identity, activism, and pride. Shifting through the different lenses of our people, Wendy uses photojournalism to highlight the day-to-day lives of the Los Angeles community. She focuses on event and fashion photography, often combining the two to highlight self expression. As an 18-year-old, Wendy has created a magazine brand named Eonagapi, and released her first issue titled “Eonagapi: Sonder Issue 01” showcasing pieces by local artists, performances and interviews with rock bands, and various essays by East Los Angeles youth. Its purpose is to spotlight the accomplishments of the Angelino youth, centering around passions, talents, aspirations, and social justice, hoping to provide a microphone in which our voices can be heard.

Q: I like asking this question a lot. If you could say something to anyone reading this right now, what would it be?
A: Ask questions like a child would. I’m able to “talk” through to you here, because of good questions. Things you may think that you know, question them, cause there’s much more to learn about not only yourself but everything else.

Q: Every show has an atmosphere and a life of their own. It’s one of my favorite things. What do you like the most about performing live music?
A: Performing and experiencing live music is a drug called “adrenaline”. As the real world slips away you become the music. Even though you are awake you are still hypnotized by the ear piercing sounds coming from the speakers. There is no judgment, you can be your true self. It is the best 30 minutes of your life.
