"The NPR Makers Market was created to celebrate small businesses and the diversity they bring to their communities. When Alt-Latino approached the NPR Shop about a collaboration for Hispanic Heritage Month, we jumped at the opportunity to use our Makers Market to spotlight Latinx creatives. Jen Zeano Designs and GRL Collective are two Latina founded lifestyle brands that focus on their community by celebrating their culture. Their values and perspectives are why we chose to highlight their talents as part of our Alt-Latino x Makers Market collaboration. " -Carlee Ingersoll
