"Through her nonprofit El Departamento de la Comida, she organizes pop-up kitchens, teaches about sustainability, and finds volunteers to work as farmhands. Her grassroots ethos extends to the boutiques where she shops, including Concalma, which sells upcycled denim handbags made in a rural cooperative, and Marisel Herbal Bath and Body, a quaint destination for organic fair-trade soaps and lotions." - Paola Singer
