Join us for the inaugural event of the Remesas y Sobremesa Series, presented by Historias. The evening will feature a group discussion that explores the multifaceted influence of Latino and immigrant businesses on New York City’s economic, social, and cultural landscape. From their roles as drivers of economic growth to their impact as cultural anchors, these businesses have long created a “cultural scaffolding” that strengthens and sustains communities. The conversation will delve into the complexities of Latino entrepreneurship in NYC, where small businesses act as hubs of commerce, identity preservation, and resilience amidst evolving challenges.
 

The Remesas y Sobremesa series invites guests to gather around the table, where the warmth of food and shared meals meets thoughtful dialogue.
 

Guest Speakers: Ligia Guallpa, Co-Executive Director at Worker’s Justice Project, Carina Kaufman-Gutierrez, Deputy Director at Street Vendor Project, Rosa Ayala, Executive Assistant at United Bodegas of America, and Dra. H.C Rosa B. Ayala, Community Leader and Human Rights Advocate.
