"'Cuquita' is the name of my aunt — the last aunt I have on my father's side," Izaguirre said. "My father's side (of the family) had a very tragic disease, so they all died at a very young age and my aunt is the last standing relative that I have." The business owner took pride in her aunt's resilience and decided to name the business she owns and operates after her aunt, Cuquita Izaguirre. The vendor was one of 25 women-owned businesses and artists at Tulips FTW.
