What do you like about being Latina?

Definitely everything. I love how passionate we are for every single thing and I’ve always admired how important the family is for us.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?

Well some people tend to think that other people’s lives are perfect, especially when they see your lifestyle on social media but they would be surprised to know we only show the 1% of ourselves. For example, they must think I have a perfect family and I do, but what they don’t know is that I don’t have a relationship with my biological father at all since I was 10 years old. I consider my stepfather as my own dad.

What is your favorite brand/designer? What do you like about that brand?

My favorite designer is Dolce & Gabbana. I identify myself very much with this brand it’s very colorful and full of life, designs, I find it juvenile and classy at the same time.


What are your favorite colors and outfits that make up most of your closet?

I love bright colors, hot pink, orange. I think it makes me stand out with my skin color. But I also love black, you can never go wrong wearing black.

I see myself living my best life. Being happy with my family and obviously a very successful Latina. Eventually, I want to release my own makeup line, so maybe I’ll be surprising you in a couple of months or years.


Which actresses or models do you believe have the best style?

I love fancy and classy styles, my role model is Camila Coelho I love love love her style.

​5 Latin Entrepreneurs That Will Inspire You

​5 Latin Entrepreneurs That Will Inspire You
By Yazmin Magana 
At hermosaz we understand the sacrifice and courage that is required to carry out a new project. That is why we are always happy to promote Latino entrepreneurs and give them a space to share their dreams and reach more hearts. Enjoy this list of 5 Latin entrepreneurs that will inspire you to start your project! 
1. GYV
The inspiration for GYV came to me on one sunny afternoon while I was enjoying a Raspado de Mango, a sweet, tangy treat of shaved ice with mango, lime, and a hint of chile. At that moment, I reflected on how the flavors and fragrances that are so prevalent in my life have become global trends, disconnected from the people and land that first cultivated them in Mesoamerica. Ingredients like vanilla, maìz, and calabaza are sold in products across the globe but are only known as vanilla, corn, and pumpkin, with little or no mention of their origin. Here at GYV, we are in the business of positive change. Our mission is to touch the hearts of as many people as possible, and we want you to be part of our efforts to make a difference.
