Hermanas Amigas Tequila

Hermanas Amigas Tequila 

As an African American woman from the South Side of Chicago, Southern California welcomed me and became my safe space. After losing my brother, my husband, and my mother, this is where I began to heal.
I left behind four incredible best friends who loved me through my grief. We would often gather for tequila nights, but I noticed something missing. In the spirits industry, I rarely saw people or women who looked like me. None of the brands reflected our stories as women of color.
So, I made one.
Hermanas Amigas Tequila, which means “Sister Friends,” is a love letter in a bottle. It honors the four women who held me accountable, cared for me after unimaginable loss, and encouraged me to begin again in Southern California.
Today, Hermanas Amigas Tequila is proudly sold at Pavilions in Montecito on Coast Village Road.
Pick up a bottle, or even better, come meet me on July 4th. I would absolutely love to see you.
