While full-time in college she took on 4 internships and grew PASSIONATE for giving back to the world around her. During the summer she went on trips, both local and abroad, working with organizations that helped impoverished communities and spent much of her free time volunteering at soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and anywhere that needed a helping hand. As a Mexican-American, the current poverty that many Latino countries and communities face is an issue that really hits close to home, and is why she wanted to partner up with Project Paz, to help children in these communities thrive and potentially make their situation better.

Founded in 2010 by a group of Mexican friends in NYC with the goal to help the children of their brothers & sisters affected by the poverty & violence in Mexico. Their mission has become to help Latino children, both in the U.S. and Mexico, succeed academically by facilitating access to after-school art programs that help them thrive in their communities. They also lend help to different causes, most recent being children immigration shelters, which is the cause our collection has partnerd up with.
