??I’m happy to share that I have joined forces with Christina Lopez-Prado, on her latest venture of starting her own sustainable kids streetwear brand! Christina and I met many years ago at Mount Mary University and led our HPGM MMU student chapter together. We are different in many ways but I have never met someone more passionate and hardworking when faced with adversity ???? Her light inspires me everyday ?? ????When she first told me about her vision for this brand, I immediately took the opportunity to work with her again! Not only did I miss her as a friend, but I knew this was something special to pour my heart into alongside with her. As I continue my masters education and experience the amazing fellowship I am a part of. Christina took a chance on me as her very first Director of Communications And Public Relations at Casita Prado! ?? ??An incredible honor to work with her as we build #community and #safespaces for #kids in #Milwaukee. In our short time together we have held a kids casting call, model coaching sessions and debut our first ever collection. As a small brand we are taking it one small step at a time as we find the community that needs us ??

???? Community and creativity thrive when we build spaces of love, inclusivity, and imagination. Casita Prado is beyond grateful to Villa Arco and owner Erick "Ck" Ledesma for opening their doors to us for our first model casting call. Their mission of fostering community and amplifying diverse voices deeply resonates with our vision of using fashion as a tool to promote education, sustainability, and empowerment. ?? Villa Arco is growing into a space where creatives, activists, and dreamers come together to build a better future. Thank you to WUWM 89.7 FM - Milwaukee's NPR and Maria Peralta-Arellano for highlighting this incredible hub for cultura and connection. ?? As we continue to grow, Casita Prado is expanding beyond fashion—crafting spaces where the next generation of thought leaders can thrive. We are excited to continue partnering with spaces like Villa Arco that put community first. ?? ? Stay tuned for more events and opportunities in 2025 designed to spark creativity, confidence, and change. ? ??
