Today is the first day of Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month, which will go until October 15th. As the National Museum of the American Latino’s website states, “The timeframe of this month is significant because many Central American countries celebrate their independence days within these dates, beginning on September 15 with Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. By aligning with these independence dates, Hispanic Heritage Month honors the resilience and determination of the Hispanic community.” It is imperative to honor and celebrate the Hispanic and Latino communities across the globe all year long, and we are especially commemorative of all of the Latina entrepreneurs who are apart of the wegg® world!
