Kids of Immigrants

Kids of Immigrants is a brand that was created to express the passion to create, empower and love. Creators Daniel Buezo and Weleh Dennis gained inspiration to create Kids of Immigrants from the roots of where they came from and the experiences they grew up on. Their mission statement is to "do the best we can with what we have.” The name comes from the fact that they are first generation Americans and kids of immigrants. They want people to understand that everyone is an immigrant in the sense that we are all cut from different cloth, but when combined we are one.
