We were lucky to catch up with Xitlali Adame recently and have shared our conversation below.
Xitlali, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Are you happier as a creative? Do you sometimes think about what it would be like to just have a regular job? Can you talk to us about how you think through these emotions?
After college I had to work as a Spanish English Interpreter which gave me the flexibility to work on my creative outlets. It wasnt easy managing it all as an independent contractor.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Dance artist, fashion designer and founder of the Awakened movement, Xitlali, known for her diverse cultural fusion dance performances brings grace and empowerment to your community through Xibaila dance healing workshops.
Xibaila empowers women by focusing on the importance of wellbeing that starts and transcends from within, demonstrating it is possible through intentional dance movements to connect with your body, being and over all essence. These strong yet graceful dance choreographies are performed at the Awakened events leaving audiences exhilarated. Xibaila strives for purpose and meaning behind all presentations.
Innovative dance artist, fashion designer and community influencer Xitlali was born to captivate and grace audiences everywhere while bringing people together through the arts. Her passion to unite multi-cultural performers in her productions comes from the inspiration she receives from her ever expanding music taste and influence of various music genres.
Even though Xitlali’s upbringing was not easy she found her strength and motivation coming within, training to Tai Chi and yoga helped her tap into her Chi vital energy, transmuting all non serving energy to positivity through her many creative outlets. Learning diverse cultural dances and returning back to her Mexican roots awakened her to realize that through the power of artistic expression there are no social or cultural barriers.
She is now dedicated to sharing this healing wisdom through her production Awakened, an all-inclusion multidisciplinary movement set to empower everyone through dance and creative expression, sharing this medicine of unity and inspiration for the people, representing a positive message of balance and harmony out in the communities.

: Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
I feel the mission is to unite, inspire and empower others through the power of the arts in any creative form to bring enlightenment and consciousness to the times we are living and be able this way to eventually rise as a collective knowing we are not alone in this path to Awakening to our true essence.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Being an entrepreneur artist, latina woman in this country has not been easy but have found my resilience through my art, creating for purpose and bringing light to those who need it.
