Emma Zack of BERRIEZ is here to tell us all about the lessons she has learned over the past few years as a small business owner. She will share advice she has for all of you small business owners out there, whether you’ve been doing it for years, just getting started, or maybe just fantasizing about leaving your dumb job to work for yourself! She'll also tell us what she would like to say to the big fashion brands out there that refuse to offer plus sizes.
We'll also hear audio essays from Alyse of Curio Mrvosa, Brittany of Magdalene Clergy Dresses, and Desirée of The Pewter Thimble.
