​✨ Amigas + Cafecito is about bringing people together—holding space to connect, check in, and just be. Co-hosted by Jaidie Vargas and Aimara Rodriguez, this gathering is all about celebrating our cultura, our comunidad, and, of course, some delicious cafecito. We’re excited to partner with Migas Coffee, a Black and Latina-owned specialty coffee bar, to make this morning even more special. ✨

​Now more than ever, we’re craving spaces that bring us together. It’s been a tough few months for many of us, and we knew we had to do something. So we’re making space to slow down, share stories, and simply be in community—no formalities, no pressure, just a moment to breathe and connect. And to keep things moving, we’ll have rotating small group conversations—hop in when it feels right, or just vibe.

​Bring a homie, pull up as you are, and let’s share a morning together. All are welcome! We'll see you there. ✨
