The Goddess Mercado

Organizing, empowering, uplifting, building, and promoting entrepreneurship within our underrepresented Latin women, youth, and queer communities. Our volunteers assist with branding, logo, graphic design, mobile boutique presentation, marketing and more. Our organization creates opportunities for your youth to express themselves, creatively, lucratively, and with the support of our local community and schools. The women of the GM are encouraged to support each other by helping each other with set up, buying from each other, and promoting each other. The intention of the mercado is to create a permanent safe space where our community of vendors and supporters are able to gather, meet and celebrate for we know this strengthens community.   The Goddess Mercado was created by Diana Diaz. She recruited 14 local women and founded their first marketplace in City Terrace, April 2021.
