Mamacita Market featuring Lil' Libros Founders Patty Rodriguez and Ariana Stein

We hosted our first stand-alone Mamacita Market in July and it was a success! No theme, no agenda just some amazing vendors and our signature backdrop provided by Ivy+Paper. We did the same in August, this time our backdrop was provided by Accents Social Designs. It was a great time and we even invited two of our most amazing supporters to co-host!

BUT! It wasn’t long before we got the itch to add more to it! In September, we joined forces with The Shops Montebello and went BIGGER!!! Same concept, a curated market (boy do we work hard to curate our markets! We want our vendors to be successful!), a backdrop (or two- because we are so extra and we love it!), and helloooo two very special guests! Patty Rodriguez and Ariana Stein founders of Lil’Libros joined us on stage to talk all things entrepreneurship, growing up Latinx and more.

Our guests were treated to a swag bag filled with goodies from tenants at The Shops Montebello and delicious churros from our good friend Gourmeletas.

The agenda also included demos from some of our vendors.
