Collection: The Belong Collection

The Belong Collection is a series of limited quantity canvas tote bags, completely handmade in my South Bronx studio. As immigrants, we’re often told we don’t belong. We’re neither from our birth countries, nor the ones we reside in- rendering us invisible. But we do belong! We’re part of the social, economic, racial and cultural landscape of the US, and I want to celebrate us. The Belong Collection is in honor of the immigrant community, a reminder for people who are undocumented, that we too, belong. 

30% of the profits from the sales of the Belong Collection will go directly to the New York State Youth Leadership Council, the first undocumented youth-led organization in New York!
