Interviewing Diana and Selma IG: @dopeitdk @selmayarely @dfla.shop

Diana and Selma are the owners and creators of DFLA and Mercado Northeast. In this interview we talk about their experience being Latina entrepreneurs, the importance of community, and the challenges they've experienced building on their own. We talk about their background and neighborhood. Why college isnt always for everyone. Advice they would give to people looking to start their own business. The complexity behind the word ghetto. Their experiences of racism. Hustle mentality. Vandalism in their store. Wanting to give up. Learning and being proud of yourself along the way.
