From her Tonopah home, Lucia Madrid is showing off the colors and designs that fill her memories as a child in Sinaloa, Mexico.
Born and raised in Sinaloa until she was 12 years old, she says for her, these are not just a piece of clothing but memories of her past.Madrid says her childhood was filled with love, family and friends. Her mom was a teacher at the school she attended most of her life. But as she got older, the dangers of her hometown also became apparent when the family suddenly decided to flee to the United States.
While difficult to leave so much behind, she vowed to take full advantage of the opportunity her family sacrificed so much to provide. For the former Army Combat Engineer, you can now add business owner to that list. Just last month, Lucia opened Con Amor Boutique, an online clothing and apparel boutique offering traditional Mexican fashion items handmade by artisans in Mexico.
