Jacqueline welcoming the room at Entre Manos, guests listening around the candlelit table

Colonia Juárez had nightlife, but nowhere bilingual and creative for people to actually gather. Entre Manos is the room I built for that — part salon, part workshop, part networking night, run in two languages.

I own every part of it: the concept, the venue, the vendors, the guest list, the print, the photography, and the feed that carries it afterwards. The first paid event sold out and it has repeated since at Testarudo Café.

First paid event sold out, and it has repeated since at Testarudo Café.
Ran it on $5,000 of my own money, with three venue and vendor partners.
