It's been a busy year for Norberto Mojardin. He's the creator of Latin Fashion Week Colorado and responsible for creating one of the largest Dias de los Muertos displays in the nation in metro Denver. He's a hair stylist and a visual artist. He streams a cooking show! And by the way... he's also a brand new father. Chandra Thomas Whitfield caught up with Beto, as he's known, at his home in Commerce City, which also serves as his design studio, to learn about what inspires him and his message of inclusion.
