While attending a Tamalada (Tamal-making party), Tamal-Angel's founder, Laura K., was asked to bring her own apron. It was at this time that she thought about creating a one-of-a-kind apron that could be worn with pride — one that symbolizes community coming together for social good and gives back.

In her years of doing community outreach, Laura met many young women who put aside their educational aspirations to prioritize their families. Inspired by these women, and wanting to do something more for her community, Tamal-Angel was born.

Tamal-Angel partners with non-profits that provide educational resources for women in underserved communities — giving them the support needed to advance their career. The social impact of our efforts combined will not only uplift and create opportunities for these women and their families — it benefits our community as a whole.
