Happy new year! Bonne année!

I started reading Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. I got it as a gift a few months ago and thought it would be nice to start the new year learning more about NE indigenous folks. It’s very good imo. Read it if you can :)

Happy Saturday! I just wanted to quickly come on here and share with everyone what I’ve been working on for the past month or so.

Ta-da!

I have created an Instagram account that shows products I am selling from artisans in Mexico. I have yet to work out details for a business, Gena Co., therefore in the meantime I am selling off IG. My goal for this business is to reinvest part of the profits back to the artisan communities where I get the products from.

Just know, all of this is:

• fair trade • empowering communities with reinvestment • slow fashion

What can you do?

If you’re interested in purchasing any items you can DM on Instagram or email me at [email protected] . Cash App, Venmo, and PayPal are accepted. You pay for shipping.

My only wish is for this business endeavor to flourish and make a difference in those artisanal communities.
