We’re kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month with some exciting news! Shangri La is thrilled to announce that 11:11 (Beautiful Patience) by Artist-in-Residence, Sandra Saenz, will be releasing next week on our YouTube channel.  Saenz is an internationally renowned makeup and visual artist, originally hailing from Monterrey, Mexico, who has embraced Islam as her faith and currently resides in Dallas, Texas. She is the first Mexican hijabi makeup artist to secure agency representation in the United States and has been described as a “positive rebel”.
