In a world where culture, community, and entrepreneurship intersect, there’s something profoundly special about women-owned businesses that carry forward traditions with a modern twist.
One such inspiring example is La Casa De Mamá, a traditional Mexican panadería infused with a plant-based approach. Latina-owned and family-operated, this Portland-based gem doesn’t just create food; it creates connections—to heritage, to flavor, and to the love and care that go into every item they make.
Recently, La Casa De Mamá hosted a unique event, El Otro Lado (The Other Side), a private dinner that celebrated the rich flavors of Puebla, Mexico. This dinner wasn’t just about the food; it was a heartfelt celebration of the lesser-known side of Cinco de Mayo—the history, resilience, and culinary traditions that define Puebla.
Celebrating Women’s Contributions to Culture
Events like El Otro Lado remind us how women-owned brands are shaping the future while staying rooted in cultural authenticity. From crafting every loaf of bread to planning unforgettable experiences, women like the founders of La Casa De Mamá exemplify what it means to pour love and quality into their work.
When we choose to support women-owned businesses, we’re not just supporting their entrepreneurial dreams; we’re celebrating their resilience, creativity, and ability to bring communities together. Every purchase becomes a small but powerful step towards uplifting women in business and preserving cultural heritage.
Why Supporting Women-Owned Brands Matters
At Dtocs, we believe in empowering women entrepreneurs like the trailblazers behind La Casa De Mamá. Just like them, we strive to handle every product with care and love, ensuring the highest quality while offering the best value for our customers. Whether it’s through food, fashion, or handmade crafts, women-owned brands are proving that when you combine passion with purpose, magic happens.
