For many, the pandemic has led to the closure of their businesses. But for a woman from Tijuana, this was just the beginning.
Priscilla Curiel achieved one of her longtime dreams, opening a coffee shop. She opened Mujer Divina, located in National City, just over a month ago.
“Mujer Divina was born out of chaos. My husband owned a deli in the same spot and due to COVID, it didn’t prosper. But I told him to not worry that we will find another idea that will be more practical. After that it took us a couple more months before we came up with Mujer Divina,” Curiel said.
Curiel commented that one of her longings was to have a coffee shop of her own and despite the contingency she did not throw in the towel and started her business.
“There were times when I wanted to close the business. There were a lot of expenses, debts, and rents to pay. I said the place is already there. If it doesn’t work then ok, but I don’t like to give up that easily,” she said.
