Cafecito Con Jefas
Welcome to the Cafecito Con Jefas podcast! I'm your host Kita Zuleta, a brand strategist + photographer based in Los Angeles. My mission is to help Jefas grow their brands with intentional images and strategies that allow them to stand out online. As a proud daughter of immigrants, cafecito lover, plantitas mom, + wife to my best friend, I'm excited to share my knowledge, and host conversations about real life + entrepreneurship with Jefas like you.
Cafecito Con Jefas is a community + podcast that exists to provide a space for women to share their stories, learn from each other's experiences, and support one another through the challenges of entrepreneurship. We may all be in different seasons of our lives and businesses, but we share common emotions and experiences that make us "Same. Same, but different."
Through this podcast, I'll be sharing stories from incredible women in my community, as well as my own experiences, to inspire and motivate you on your own entrepreneurial journey. I'll also be sharing brand strategy tips and creative ways to incorporate your brand photography into your business. My goal is to provide you with valuable insights and wisdom that can help you achieve your goals and lift up the community as a whole.
So join me and your fellow Jefas as we talk about real life and entrepreneurship, share words of encouragement, guidance, and support one another. Grab your favorite mug, pour yourself a cup of cafecito, and tune in to the Cafecito Con Jefas podcast to be inspired and gain wisdom. Welcome to the Cafecito Con Jefas community!
