Hola! Buenos Dias! 

I am so excited that I was able to get these next guests into this first season of the podcast! 

We’ve had such an amazing group of Latinas share their business story and these two are a perfect pair to end Season 1 with. 

Mestiza Shop is a staple shop in Pilsen. I feel like if you’re a Latinx creative you know about Mestiza with Lorena and Sugeiri. In the shop you’ll find a unique collection of jewelry, clothing, things for your home, stationery, and other artisan goods. And the amazing thing is that these traditional and modern pieces celebrate Latinx creators and our traditions and culture. 

I’m so thankful to have connected with them and have my prints and stickers in their shop. Lorena and Sugeiri have such compassionate hearts, and truly love their community and offer so much encouragement in their interview.

So please enjoy my chat with the owners of Mestiza.
