The Mequi Collection

This collection started many years before Clara painted it.

I grew up in Brazil, where McDonald’s, or Mequi, as we call it, is a big thing.

On my 18th birthday, my family was going through a hard time and we couldn’t afford a party. So my mom, my beloved dad and I went to McDonald’s for a meal. My dad wanted to make it special and somehow got a Ronald McDonald candle to put on my ice cream. I never forgot that birthday.

Years later, one of my first dates with Carlo was also at McDonald’s. Funny part? He was vegetarian and hated fast food! But he liked me, so he came anyway.

And of course, I passed my Mequi love to my kids. A Big Mac, fries and time together became part of our family memories too. Even on our girls’ dates, sometimes Clara is the one asking for Mequi.

So when we were invited to Hack for Accessibility at McDonald’s headquarters in Chicago, it felt like one of those crazy full-circle moments.

From celebrating my 18th birthday there because it was all we could afford, to walking into their headquarters with my daughter as speakers.

Clara knows all these stories. She knows what Mequi means to me and our family.

So she entered the studio and created her magic. ❤️🍟

And this collection was born.
