According to CNN, a Stanford Graduate School of Business survey found 1,800 new businesses between 2007 and 2012 were started by Latinos in the U.S.
Frequently, we can find amazing items that truly celebrate our culture, identity and los secretos de la abuela! Even though National Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States is from September 15 to October 15, as Latinos we tend to celebrate our rich and diverse traditions every day and with no special occasions.
To help you celebrate your heritage all year long, we gathered up with a list of five fashion and beauty brands that pay tribute to the Latin American roots.
- su_ella
su_ella is the story of two Latinas, born and raised in NJ who love creative arts and fashion. Jisely Jimenez and Lian Amado came with the idea of creating a shirt with freedom. The intention of launching something like nothing that had been seen before, led the ladies of su_ella into a talk of who they want to empower.
Their goal now is to make dope mujer gear that pushes Latinas to be bold, creative and to remind them of who they are! Lian (Cuban & Spaniard) and Jisely J. (Dominican), together draw from the Latin women who have paved the way for them, to inspire the new generation of Latinas to come.
"Our dream is to keep adding to our list of Latin Legends and to eventually be on it too. We just want to see more of us when we're talking about history," the duo told Latin Times.
