Usnavi is a bodega owner who longs to go back to his native Dominican Republic. In the meantime, he spends his time in a small neighborhood in Washington Heights pining after Vanessa, a beautiful lady working at the beauty salon and looking after Abuela Claudia, the elderly Cuban lady living next door who raised him, among many others. One day, Usnavi's childhood friend Nina comes back from college with a secret. | |

Opting Out of Fast Fashion |
There are plenty of choices each of us can make to ease the stress on our planet, our wallets, and ourselves. Sometimes it is as simple as checking to see what is new at your local thrift shop or organizing a clothing swap with friends!
Learning simple mending techniques will allow the clothes you love to last longer or it might lead you to a love of re-designing clothes you already own into a new look.
