Teresa is a mother of 8, homemaker and expert weaver. She uses the most of her time at home caring for her children and is extremely productive. Whenever she gets a free moment she makes new embroidered designs and weaves with her back strap loom. Her efforts have successfully allowed her to send all of her children to school, well except Lupe the 2 year old, who's not quite ready yet ;) Thanks to you for your continued support and conscious decision to shop ethical.

Empowering Maria to share her story first hand to student groups, fashion buyers and global influencers is my honor. ⠀ ⠀ It is not my story to tell, but hers. Artists deserve the right to receive proper recognition for their creativity and expertise. Especially Maya weavers who have been taken advantage of repeatedly and had their designs stolen.⠀ ⠀ Maria receives generous payment for her time to give these traditional demonstrations just like any other public speaker would. #hipempowers ⠀ ⠀ pc: @alvaradodii | www.hiptipico.com (at San Antonio Palopó)

» » ∙ Juana ∙ « « Juana is the leader of a women’s cooperative in the small Mayan village of El Triunfo in the western highlands of Guatemala. Juana and all the women in her cooperative are mothers eager to send their children to school to make a better life for them. Most do not leave their village or speak Spanish, so your purchase provides these female weavers with a dignified job opportunity to help break the cycle of poverty. #hipempowers (at Pujujil, Solola, Guatemala)
