Storytelling Workshop: Soñando Grande

Edgar Lopez is a Creative Professional from the NW side of Chicago focusing on Communications and Creative Solutions and his story stems from the love and appreciation of food that’s made by restaurant cooks and street vendors. Highlighting what it takes to put on a production like Chispa Chicago’s, we meet Adan, Adriana, and Pedro whose passion and dedication led them to start a taco stand during the pandemic. Their food is unique and delicious, and their creativity is representative of the Latinx workforce and culture in the city of Chicago. You can follow them on Instagram @chispa_chicago.

This segment was produced by Edgar Lopez for Vocalo’s Fall 2022 Storytelling Workshop. Vocalo’s quarterly Storytelling Workshop returned this Fall with seven segments produced by community storytellers, uplifting the voices of individuals who add to the rich cultural diversity of Chicago.
