"Los Angeles is more than just the place where I manufacture—it’s the heart of my brand and my vision. As a Latin female entrepreneur, it’s important to me to support my local community and give back by creating jobs here. The facility where I produce my designs is female-owned by a fellow Latina, and she employs other minorities, primarily women. This commitment to manufacturing in LA allows me to contribute to the local economy while empowering women from diverse backgrounds. It’s my way of staying true to my roots and making a positive impact on my community through ethical and sustainable practices."
