CPLC Empoderate

Founder of Crafty Chica, Kathy Cano-Murillo, speaks on what inspired her to create a space for Latina craft-making. It began as a mission to celebrate our wonderful crafting heritage that has been handed down by our nanas and abuelas. Cultural creativity is not art, it is a legacy. 💖
