Melly Barajas is known for being a woman who protects her people, knowledgeable about her
craft, strong and sometimes eccentric. A believer in hope and equality, she believes that women are no better or worse than men, but if it is more difficult to break through, “The sky is the limit.”
Her career as an entrepreneur began with the turn of fashion, but in her mind the memory and promise that she made to her father prevailed, creating a tequila in her honor. She decided to knock on several doors looking for help from different tequila producers until she found out who agreed to produce her first line of bottles.
Melly Barajas was not intimidated by a male- dominated tequila industry, the negative responses were her motivation, she had a goal and a dream to fulfill. Thanks to her drive and unshakeable spirit she became one of the few Tequila teachers, she made her way into the world of tequila and for the year 1999 she founded her own distillery, Raza Azteca. accompanied by a group composed mainly of powerful women.
