Freedomlei

State of Mind @freedomleistateofmind

Maria plans on bringing her skills in apothecary and handmade bath products made of love to the Berwyn community. She was first inspired to make bath bombs for her autistic daughter as that was the only way to get her to bathe without a tantrum. Since then, it has evolved into a full-blown business of her connecting with her culture and paying homage to her grandfather, a shaman in Mexico.

Huipil Boutique

@_huipil

Like many others, Huipil Boutique was an idea born during the pandemic. It started with a love for the craftsmanship you see in Mexican goods that Sonia and Alondra shared. The mother and daughter duo have since taken that passion and started curating the most eye-catching pieces of jewelry sets, lele dolls, mugs, and more items for their customers to enjoy! Their collection has grown as they have been introduced to more indigenous creatives in Mexico.
