¡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 Paul, founder of Inti Threads. Established in 2015, Inti Threads is an LGBTQIA+ and Latinx brand that celebrates a rich Ecuadorian tradition of weaving textiles and creating beautiful, colorful designs that are ethically sourced. In 2022, they launched a first-of-its-kind limited edition rainbow pride blanket.
