Our HerStory
​
Yo Soy AfroLatina started as a heartfelt passion project for our visionary Founder, Bianca Kathryn, who struggled with a lack of representation while navigating her dual identity as Black & Mexican American during her childhood and adolescence. Launched in 2017, the lifestyle brand was inspired by Bianca’s experiences and quickly gained recognition for its empowering t-shirts and home goods that resonated with Afro Latinas.
From its beginnings in New York City, Yo Soy AfroLatina flourished through social media, building a global community and connecting with Afro Latinas everywhere. After 7 impactful years and a move to Houston during the 2020 pandemic, Bianca’s vision expanded even further.
Inspired by Houston's vibrant entrepreneurial spirit and the genuine warmth of its community, Bianca envisioned Yo Soy AfroLatina as a haven for Afro Latinx women. Her goal is to create a supportive space where their voices and stories could not only be heard but celebrated.
