We're not just another Latinx t-shirt brand with cute sayings.
Our mission at Mi Legasi (pronounced Me Legacy)is to empower multicultural parents with actual useful information. We have blogs that celebrate our culture, book recommendations for little bilingual (or soon to be) bilingual minds as well as potty training charts. We also have a podcast where you can learn and be inspired by other mothers like you, and sure, cute wear for the entire familia.

Hola, I'm Janny Perez, it's so nice to meet you. When people ask me what is Mi Legasi about, I take a pause and have to share my background and what led mi to this journey...
That's me, with a paleta in my mouth with my familia.I was born in Colombia but my parents immigrated to the the U.S when I was very young. I grew up in Miami among Cubans and South Americans. While we kept our Colombian traditions alive (hello arepitas and buñuelos) I found a love for pastelitos de guayaba and congri. I always felt Latina first.
I went to fashion design school in Chicago and for the first time in my life, I felt more American. I found and learned about other cultures like Polish and Italian and was introduced to el Barrio Pilsen with their yummy restaurants and the Jibaritos of Humboldt Park. I was the first college graduate in my familia and earned a scholarship to study abroad in London.
After my studies in London I made my way to New York City, a designer with a dream. I met my rockstar Bulgarian husband and in 2015 we welcomed our multicultural daughter Victoria. I knew that I wanted her to grow up learning and celebrating her cultures and speaking Español, the idea for Mi Legasi was born.
In 2017, we launched a subscription box based business to help families connect with their culture, raise bilingual kids, and celebrate moms. Well, that didn't turn out so great! That's ok, because in the process we found our voice and have now created an empowering brand.
Today Mi Legasi is home to The Latina Mom Legacy podcast, listened to in 33 countries with thousands of downloads. It's also home to various blogs that help you raise bilingual kids and celebrate Hispanic heritage.
