TEXAS — Hispanic Heritage Month begins Sept. 15 and ends on Oct. 15. But the celebration doesn't have to end there. Here are five Latinx-owned businesses you should know about and can support all year long.

JZD is a Latina and LGBTQ+ owned business started by Jen and Veronica Zeano, a couple based in Brownsville, Texas. Their popular items for sale include their "Latina Power" shirts, pink Latina jumpsuits and their "Poderosa" denim jacket. The duo's designs have been worn by celebrities like Jessica Alba, and they just recently added their merchandise to Target stores just in time for Hispanic Heritage Month.

Emily Bryn is a Mexican, queer artist based in Austin, Texas, who specializes in screenprinted secondhand clothing. She creates designs in support of immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community with slogans like "No More Deportations" and "Queer Texan."
