They raise awareness about poor people’s lived experiences and how we empower each other to overcome oppression.

This organization is comprised of people of all genders, building an egalitarian, matriarchal business community. We support each other as we create sustainable livelihoods for ourselves, doing work we find meaningful while we care for our children and our families. Together as artists and entrepreneurs, we grow through collaboration, education, and empowerment; we inspire and encourage future enterprising people.
