"Homecoming Queen" is the second single off of the EP 'Radio Imagination'. by Mimi Tempestt. This visual was created by the award-winning animator, Jenny Jokela. The concept and direction was spearheaded by Mimi Tempestt. This video is dedicated to the legend of Queen Califia, the blessings of Goddess Energy, and the traditions of sacred magic through the Divine Feminine. Being a Los Angeles native, whose ancestral roots have been established here for nearly 100 years, it was important for Mimi to showcase monuments, locations and land that truly embodies the west coast. This video is a display knowledge of the magic of this land and mythology of Queen Califia into an amazing animated phenomenon.
