From adjusting store hours to meet local business trends to sharing stories of cultural connections, Coco and Jessica's testament paints a vivid picture of personal passion and community enrichment.
We hear from them of their imports from Mexico, emphasizing the personal connections and cultural significance of handmade goods. Hear touching stories of supporting street vendors and the meaningful traditions behind items like Oaxaca's alebrijes.
