Episode 11: Sugeiri Martinez & Lorena Almanza
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 also have my prints and stickers in their shop. Lorena and Sugeiri have such compassionate hearts, truly love their community, and offer so much encouragement in their interview.
So please enjoy my chat with the owners of Mestiza.
If you’re in Chicago you for real need to visit their location in Pilsen. And if you’re not local, check out their website and order online. I’ve gone on many occasions to look for birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, or just to let the kids pick out something fun like a concha or churro keychain. Every time I visit there are new products to choose from, which make me excited for every time I walk in. Also, follow them on instagram and all the other businesses they’ve partnered with for their Viva la Mujer event this year.
