Spring Favorites
Hello and Happy Spring! I’m excited to share that I’ve teamed up with Veronika Herrera Mojica of MUJERONA Community to create a seasonal gift guide for every occasion coming up on your social calendar. In this blog post we’re sharing some of our favorite Latina owned brands and products that we’re loving this season.
Whether you’re shopping for Mother’s Day or your favorite grad, looking to freshen up your self care routine, wanting to bring some cultura into your casita, or just wanting to root for your fellow Latinas, we’ve got a Spring gift guide to help you discover something fabulous and make a valuable impact on our vibrant community.
To highlight the importance of supporting Latina owned businesses with our voices and our dollars, I asked Veronika to share the value of investing back into our community. Here’s what she had to say. . .
“In today's interconnected world, the power of community support cannot be overstated. With over 2 million Latina-owned businesses thriving across the United States, we have a golden opportunity to uplift and empower one another economically. By standardizing the practice of prioritizing Latina businesses for our needs, we not only foster economic growth within our community but also strengthen our collective voice and influence.
By consciously directing our purchasing power towards Latina-owned businesses, we not only contribute to their success but also create a ripple effect of empowerment and opportunity. As we build economic strength within our community, we also enhance our ability to advocate for our interests and shape the future of our society.”
- Veronika Herrera Mojia, Founder of MUJERONA
