Ultimately, making her art is a way to re-establish her relationship with her roots, “I make a lot of my art for people like myself that want to be connected again,” she says. “I hope I can continue to do that for other people.” pic.twitter.com/cCpFXkiSnP

Fanesha is consistently inspired by her culture and is compelled to share it. Her studio space is full of rich colors, natural light, and artworks from her friends. ”I think my studio is like me, open, welcoming, colorful, a little messy, but fun.” pic.twitter.com/9mfCtE52ZN

“I think growing up Latina and Hispanic has been such a blessing for me because there is so much beauty in our culture. So I have an endless flow of inspiration. The greatest thing about that, as well, is that I can share that with so many people.” pic.twitter.com/DOOTXnhl1u

Fanesha says taking the leap of faith to pursue her art has been a transformative experience. She encourages other entrepreneurs to follow suit. “I think success comes from being confident in what you do and who you are.” pic.twitter.com/nU1rV59SbK

Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month, we collaborated with Dominican musician and multimedia artist Fanesha Fabre to feature entrepreneurs in our Portrait of a Small Business series.

Fanesha, who collaborated with Bianca on projects in the past, says that Bianca’s joy in connecting and advocating for a full spectrum of Afro Latinas inspired her portrait for this series. pic.twitter.com/OtbpF2lQ5T
— Mailchimp (@Mailchimp) October 14, 2021
Though Bianca says she walked into her entrepreneurship journey accidentally, she’s built something her family and community can be proud of. “Being a Black Latina, building a legacy for my family to come and just something that I can look back on was really important to me.” pic.twitter.com/4LCRUB8iHj
— Mailchimp (@Mailchimp) October 14, 2021
First, Bianca sought out her own cultural traditions in Mexico and New York, then she found her own way of empowering other Afro Latinas to do the same. Today, Yo Soy AfroLatina sells vibrant and bold apparel that commemorates her culture. pic.twitter.com/QzoNrxjvOr

“We’re representing a community of Latina women in particular who have just never felt seen, never felt heard or represented or if they were, it was in really small moments,” Bianca says. pic.twitter.com/cNlERNlSI5

Our final installment of our Portrait of a Small Business series celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month features Bianca Kea, founder of @officialYSAL. She grew up with little sense of the Afro Latina community, feeling she wasn’t Latina enough–even though that’s how she identified. pic.twitter.com/WQKibljCa9

Catchings was raised in a family of female artists and creators. Her textile artistry is a way of expressing herself, celebrating her culture, promoting community, and carrying on tradition. Azteca Negra is a business centered on community and culture. pic.twitter.com/Q2abpOc7W7

Fanesha says the pure artistry shown by the women, along with Oralia’s story of starting with Trama Textiles as a teen, and working her way up all inspired her portrait. pic.twitter.com/cP7urfmxaU

“A lot of our weavers are living in the rural villages, and they don’t really get the opportunity to have their faces shown,” she says. “It’s important that we’re serving the women and giving them support and connecting them with international clients.” pic.twitter.com/tHJ6pexKLk
