What is your business/project and what inspired you to start it?
What inspired me to start Querida Los Angeles was my need to express my creativity and to grow personally and financially. I am a Natural Creative, Extra and detailed in all that I do. Querida was the outlet I needed. What I see in the future for Querida is a movement. I want this small business to evolve into a well known brand and to Blossom into a community. A community and movement of Empowered Woman, Loving themselves and Creating Promising Futures while inspiring others.
How do you overcome challenges and stay motivated?
There have been times that I find myself feeling uninspired. Times when that creative block finds me and my way of moving forward is just that: I KEEP GOING! I keep showing up! Even when my content and products seem repetitive I continue to pour my all. What motivates me is my progress. Looking a few months back and seeing how far I’ve come in under a years work and I want more. I want more of the small wins! I want it all and I’m coming for it.
What is an important lesson you’ve learned as a female latinx entrepreneur?
What I’ve come to find while in business is that there is a demand for Latina, Latinx owned business. There is a market out there of consumers like myself who want to contribute to our community. Querida LA Is for everyone, All women and we even have Men customers. But without a doubt our target audience is the Latino Consumer.
