Merkado Magic
This learning cohort was designed by Mia Balingit (they/she), the CEO and founder of Kapwa Kreations (formerly Perfectly Pinay). Mia started Kapwa Kreations in October 2021 as a broke college student. Their business plan didn't really have a solid foundation, and things were developed without authentic intentionality. As they planted themselves in different spaces, Mia learned (and is continuing to learn) various strategies on how to build community-centered, intentional, and empowering systems to help elevate their life and their business. Now, Kapwa Kreations is a thriving business centering Filipinx voices and experiences, while also cultivating a welcoming and creative community.
After investing a ridiculous amount of money in coaches, courses, and seminars, Mia realized that there aren't many accessible or personalized learning opportunities for new/budding entrepreneurs, so they developed Merkado Magic as a community offering to help empower and educate folks that are committed to learning and growing their craft.
