Whenever someone hears “Mujeres al Poder,” a common phrase in Spanish that means "Power to the Women," several words come to mind: passionate, strong, and fearless, women willing to do anything and everything to achieve a goal or purpose. With March being Women’s History Month, it is important to honor the women that are making a difference in our communities. One way to do this is by supporting Latina-owned businesses.
These fierce Latinas are making their dreams a reality through a wide range of food, clothing, and beauty companies. From an entirely woman-run Mezcal and coffee brand to cosmetic and clothing brands that celebrate the Latina experience, here are 25 Latina-owned brands you should know about. Their unique products and origin stories will have you shopping beyond Women’s History Month.
1. Hija de Tu Madre
Celebrating the Latina identity.
What’s more American than denim and more Mexican than the Lady of Guadalupe? Through the lifestyle and clothing brand Hija de Tu Madre, founder Patty Delgado uses common Latinx phrases and staples like “make jefa moves” and “echale ganas” to celebrate Latinas everywhere and remind them of their culture and identities.
2. Yola Mezcal
An entirely woman-run brand.
Move over Kendall Jenner, this is the only woman-run mezcal brand we should be talking about. Initially started in the late 1960s by Yola Jimenez’s grandfather in Oaxaca, Mexico, Yola Mezcal is now entirely staffed by women—from those running the business to those in the bottling facility.
3. Honey Baby Naturals
Products for all naturalistas.
Former chemical engineer Aisha Ceballos-Crump was inspired to launch Honey Baby Curls, the first Latina-owned natural hair and skincare line found in major retailers, after noticing the unique needs of her three kids’ hair textures. These products are inspired by her grandmother’s secret ingredient for hair care: “miel,” which is honey in Spanish. You can find her products at Target, Walmart, Sally Beauty, as well as the Honey Baby Naturals site.
4. Viva La Bonita
Representing all Latinas.
After working in retail and noticing the lack of representation of the Latina community in terms of streetwear, Rachel Gomez launched Viva La Bonita hoping to empower women and be a voice for her community. This lifestyle and apparel brand offers anything from sweatshirts and t-shirts to accessories and home decor with a focus on inspiring Latinas.
5. Soulful Succulents
Add some green to your space.
Soulful Succulents is a small business based in Southern California that not only sells a variety of plant arrangements but also hosts “Sip ‘n’ Succs” workshops that teach people how to make their own succulents and will cater for events. Owner Maritza Mendoza-Aguirre began the business after finding hope and strength in succulents after losing her voice for several months due to polyps on her throat.
6. Rizo Curls
Show those curls off.
Rizo Curls celebrates the beauty of all curls, kinks, and waves. From a young age, Julissa Prado, founder and CEO of Rizo Curls, went through many hair phases and tried numerous products until she decided to make her own. Through Rizo Curls, she teaches customers how to style and care for their hair while embracing their natural hair patterns.
7. Yo Soy AfroLatina
Empowering Afro-Latinas.
Bianca Kea founded this lifestyle brand to promote awareness and celebrate the Black diaspora within Latin America and the Caribbean. Growing up in the Midwest, she felt there was not enough representation of the Afro-Latinx community. The messages on her products, such as a "not all Latinas look the same" mug and an "Afro Latinidad is not a trend," t-shirt, Kea is creating a space in the fashion industry that shows the beauty and power of Afro-Latinas.
8. LUHV
Promoting healthy eating.
When you think of Latino and Hispanic foods, vegan meals rarely come to mind. That’s where LUHV Foods comes in. This Argentinean family-owned vegan and gluten-free eatery based in Philadelphia hopes to change that narrative. What began as a way for her family to heal from health complications led founder and owner Silvia Lucci to launch healthier foods like a black bean plantain roasted poblano burger or a sweet potato jalapeno soup. The foods are available for purchase at retailers across the Northeast.
