In 2003, Amairani and her family immigrated to the Midwest in an attempt to escape heightened cartel violence in Acapulco, a city which is currently one of the most dangerous cities in the world. Working in the mediums of poetry, narrative filmmaking, and abstract painting, Amairani uses her work to extract meaning from the distortion and chaos expressed in her artistic practice and has worked closely with the artistic community in Tulsa to curate, collaborate, and direct projects centered on changing the narrative for undocumented individuals and their families. 

Her artistic collaborations include exhibitions and performances with Living Arts of Tulsa, Telatúlsa, Taco Truck Theatre, Tulsa Artist Fellowship, Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition, Mid-America Arts Alliance, Black Moon Collective, The Woody Guthrie Center, Oklahoma Center for the Humanities, Philbrook Museum of Art, and Tin House. Notably, Amairani’s poem, “Past Informs, and Honors Future” (2021) was commissioned by the Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art. In 2022, Amairani made her theatrical directorial debut with Telatúlsa’s production of the show, Volver, Volver, Volver by Leonard Madrid.

Recent accomplishments include working under Production Designer Yong-Ok Lee in the Art Department for Academy Award-winning film, Minari (2020) and being honored with the 2022 Pinnacle “Woman of the Year” Award in the Rising Star category. In 2022, she was named to the class of NextGen’s Under 30 and 20 Under 40 Young Latino Award for Oklahoma. 

She is a published poet and her work has appeared in the Creative Field Guide to Northeastern Oklahoma, Pop Sugar, AWP’s Writer’s Chronicle, Tulsa Public Radio, and Art Basel. She is a part of the leadership team for the Association of Writers & Writing Programs (AWP) Latinx Writers Caucus.
