Manage episode 275452349 series 2628002
Meet the mighty Donia Way! The trail blazing character created by the Architect and Anthropologist duo Javier Covo and Ileana Reyes. Initially created by Covo as a lens to understand and celebrate his wife and her culture, Donia Way has become a passion project that is now a thriving family business with a mission.
Listen in as I speak with Irene Covo Reyes and Maria Camila Guerrero, the daughter and daughter in-law of the creators, who tell me about the important role this beloved character plays in preserving and amplifying the Yucatan culture. Learn about their journey as they collectively create a meaningful brand and some unexpected pushback from the elite in the community. I am excited to share this cultural gem that mean a lot to me as the son of a Yucatan. Join me and learn what a “Confidentes” chair is and the meaning behind Donia Way’s name. You will want to meet Donia Way!!
