Hispanic-owned businesses take center stage.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The histories, cultures and contributions of the Latinx community in America bring diverse insight into everything we do as a country. This is a community filled with positivity and a hard-working attitude that pushes for change and acceptance. For Hispanic Heritage Month, we want to recognize the Latinx small business owners who are constantly advocating and inspiring their friends, families and communities. Even though we are taking the month to shine the light on these business owners, we want to emphasize the importance of shopping and supporting Hispanic-owned small businesses throughout the year. #HispanicOwnedBusiness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catalina Tellez Hopkins (She\/Her) <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Catalina Straps & Bags, San Francisco<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Growing up in Colombia gave Catalina the opportunity to witness a culture passed down from generations. The handmade mochilas, or sack-like handbags, inspired her to create different products with the woven patterns and straps she had become accustomed to seeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catalina Straps & Bags creates unique products to carry your yoga mat, water bottle, guitar, and more. Each product is handmade by the indigenous artisans of the Wayuu tribe in Colombia. To make a positive social and environmental impact, a percentage of each purchase goes back to the makers and their community, as well as investing in tree planting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt’s part of Hispanic culture to value community and supporting each other. We’re very resilient, creative, optimistic and respectful as a culture.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ch\u00e9 Morales (He\/Him)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The Online.Gallery, NYC<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Ch\u00e9 is no stranger to the art world. He works as an independent curator doing about 4-5 gallery shows a year in LA, New York and Miami. However, when the pandemic hit, he wanted to find a new way to bring art to the public. That\u2019s when he created The Online.Gallery, or the OG for short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OG is a digital magazine that helps demystify art and give access to people who may be unfamiliar with it. His online gallery also gave artists an opportunity to not only share their work but their processes, side projects and more. The OG brings a community of art lovers together in a space that feels more open and accepting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs long as what you’re doing has purpose and meaning, you can be in the magazine and I want people to think that the magazine is accessible to everyone. It’s not just for high-end art people, but for anyone that wants to be creative in any sense.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
