You are likely no stranger to the fact that we are needing to make a shift in how we consume, how we treat products, and what we hold ethics we hold companies to. You are probably also totally in agreement that things are fucked up the way they are, and that something has to change. […]
What I learned this year and what made a difference.

Creative Weirdos: Meagan Mullins
We are the weirdos. Creatives and artists have for a long-time been associated with the strange, the weird, and the uniquely different. When I was younger, weird was used as a slur, something to make you feel badly about not being like the rest of them. I always found being weird as a badge of […]
