Hi friends!

Today’s conversation is the second episode in honor of sustainability and Earth Day. I chatted with my good friend and fellow Latina, Cindy Castro, founder & CEO of sustainable fashion line Cindy Castro New York!

I learned so much from this conversation and I hope you do too.

P.S. -- Stay tuned for the end. We inspected the labels of my clothing items to see what they were made out of. Disclaimer: PLASTIC... Yikes.
