our co-creation/co-working gatherings are back!these are where we meet virtually over zoom, pick a project/creative hobby we'd like to make progress on, cruise and create! together! online! it's cozy, it's cute, cuz it's us. we'll share if you are up for it and talk story. they will be bi-weekly: I was having trouble with booking link I sent last week, so if you'd like to come, feel free to reply to this email so that I know you're coming and send you the reminders! this group gathering is for women & non-binary creators of color. thank you!

Our support of these organizations is to support the kānaka community in defending their land and waters. If you ever feel the need to unsubscribe, I respect that. The button is below.
