a safe space for the divine feminine
“I love being a woman. I embody the high-value woman. I don’t settle for less. I support other women. I see them as my sisters. Sisterhood is what I love to cultivate. I enjoy my sensuality while embracing both the divine masculine and divine feminine within. I adore all types of women’s body. I empower myself and uplift other women.”

Once upon a warm summer night in 2018…
In a small Koreatown apartment, the air was thick with dreams and the glow of a Canndescent joint curling smoke into the universe. Icy sat in quiet reflection, her mind drifting between memory and vision, searching for a name—something that felt like home, like destiny, like her.
And then, it came like a whisper from the past.
“Chinita Cat”
Chinita—a name that had followed me since childhood, a nickname given to me in the hallways of my elementary school. A name that held the echoes of laughter, of innocence, of my Filipino, Spanish, and Chinese roots. It was a name that reminded me of the girl I once was—the girl who saw the world through wide, curious eyes.
Cat—because I have always been inquisitive, always searching, always drawn to the mysteries of life. Like a cat, I follow my instincts, chasing the unseen, uncovering the beauty in both the known and the unknown.
That night, beneath the haze of inspiration and intuition, as I inhaled deeply, I felt a shift—a calling, a purpose, a knowing. Chinita Cat wasn’t just a name. It was an extension of me, a tribute to my womanhood, my divine femininity, my art. It was a movement waiting to unfold, a sisterhood waiting to be built.
I never looked back.
A sanctuary for the modern, southeast Asian-Latina and for every woman who refuses to shrink into the mold of expectation.
We were never meant to be confined by society’s terms of womanhood.
We don’t shrink to fit.
We don’t hide what makes us whole.
We are sensual.
We are empowered.
We are fulfilled.
And so, Chinita Cat became a spell, a legacy, a sacred space where art, sisterhood, and divine femininity intertwine. A place where women reclaim their softness as strength, where sensuality is celebrated, and where radiance is embraced without apology.
This is my story.
This is our story.
And it is just beginning.
