This scarf is not made by hand.
It’s made by ambition. By dreams of school. And sisterhood.
It’s made by thread, on a machine bought with savings, that was earned with profit, and managed by community.
This scarf is made by Juana, by Olivia, and by Gregoria.
It’s made by introducing passion to opportunity.
It’s made by thinking bigger.
It’s made by going further.
We go further.
