She has spoken out against U.S. President Donald Trump for his anti-Mexican policies.[5][6][7]

Growing up in her small Catholic town in Mexico didn't allow her to artistically express herself, thus after moving to Italy, she found a release in Fashion.

Sánchez-Kane showed her work at the New York Fashion Week in 2017, where her models had the phrase, "alternative facts" drawn on their faces in place of mustaches.[8] The name of the collection was "Men Without Fear."[9] Her work at the show both drew on her Mexican heritage and her own inner feelings, drawn from journals and childhood memories.[10] Her work at Fashion Week also referenced the water crisis that many parts of the world are facing.[11]

In 2017, she presented a piece of performance art called "Deseo de un placer absurdo", with the artist, Orly Anan, at the Noche Blanca event in Mérida.[12]
