A Walk In Her Shoes

A conversation on identity, reinvention, culture, and building something meaningful.

An intimate morning with Maritza Cardenas, founder of Cayucas Shoes, exploring the personal journey behind building a modern footwear brand rooted in heritage, craftsmanship, and reinvention.

This is a space for women navigating change.

For the women rebuilding after heartbreak.
For the women learning to trust themselves again.
For the women reconnecting with their culture, their creativity, and their voice.

Together, we’ll discuss identity, grief, entrepreneurship, imposter syndrome, ethical production, and what it means to create something meaningful before having all the answers.

A conversation about becoming — and building a life and brand that truly feels like your own.

The conversation will be guided by Samantha Sarine, founder of Sarine Planning and creator of Amigas Means Friends.
