About Blanca:

Blanca is the founder of Curvas Plus Size Boutique, the first plus size retail chain in Central America. Beyond offering clothing, Curvas seeks to fill the spiritual and human needs of its customers by providing them individualized attention and respect, taking into account their expectations, needs, tastes and preferences. Curvas is an inclusive store that creates fashion and contributes to improving the self-esteem of their clients. Curvas hosts empowerment talks and has a self-improvement blog. Curvas’ work has transformed plus size fashion, taking it from the ugly duckling of fashion to a swan full of surprises. Curvas has expanded and recently opened its first store in El Salvador. Blanca holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Universidad Americana and is the Vice President of Women’s Business Network of Nicaragua. She hopes to expand her company to other countries in Central and Latin America.
