Tamale Chica

Tamale Chica
I'm a lifelong Chicagoan and north sider (I do have friends on the south side!!) Have an undergrad in Accounting and a dual graduate degree (MBA in E-Commerce and an MSIMC in Marketing). My focus of research has been consumer behavior and ethnic subcultures in the USA. Tamale Chica has taught workshops on stereo-type busting, ethnic marketing, and consumer behavior issues. I grew up in a typical rough Chicago hood that is now so gentrified that parking costs more than my family paid for rent. I'm a modern gal with hues of funk, fun, both old and new fashioned elements, a foodie and a technogeek.

Sobre mi nombre

Me llamo la Chica Tamales por muchas razones. Hace muchos anos, una vieja amiga ( Latina ) llamaba a sus amigas intimas "chica" como una forma de mostrar su afecto, fue así que me convertí en "chica." Tambien hace muchos anos, me gustaban los tamales caseros de la familia de mi ex-esposo, quienes eran originarios de Monterrey, Mexico. Aunque mi novio tambien es Mexicano, si quiero tamales frescos necesito ir a comprarlos yo misma en Pilsen o Little Village. Dado que compraba tamales para mi familia y para mi, generalmente compraba 6 u 8 docenas, de ahi viene el nombre 'chica tamales.'
