Teresa Rochez is originally from Honduras. She was born in the community of La Ensenada, near Tela, in the Honduran Department of Atlantida. When she was a child, Teresa dreamed of becoming a model, but because she was teased for her short stature, she left this dream behind. At the age of 19 years, she migrated to the United States in search of new opportunities and began to nurture her passion for fashion. She started by designing clothes primarily for her friends and family, but eventually began to receive and fulfill international orders from her native Honduras as well as from throughout the United States. Her dream is to keep on developing and evolving her brand with the same impulse for success she derives from her experience as a Garifuna, Latina, Honduran immigrant in the United States. You can find Teresa Rochez and her designs on Instagram (@zechorrochez) and Facebook (Rochez Zechor).
