¡Vámonos! Because in this podcast, you will be listening to LGBTQ+ vendors, artists, & creators that make up the Queer Mercado Community. You will get to hear their stories, motivations, and the many ways they contribute to their local communities. They are the magic of the Queer Mercado (QM).
Get ready to listen to the love, passion, and dedication behind the QM with your host Gaudencio Márquez.
In this episode, you will meet Tina Arroyos, founder of Tina Latina. Tina is an artist that works with resin, paper mache, and stained glass. In addition, Tina is a sculptor, and whatever she can get her hands on, she can make art with it. Read more about Tina Latina here.
