Conversation Corner @ C + S Festival.
e’re gonna try a little social experiment at C+S’s Anniversary Festival. We’ll be hosting a lush, shaded space among other awesome vendors and organizations and, throughout the day, invite people (including you!) in for a quick conversation with a stranger. In short, we’re going to challenge the vendor-customer dynamic and encourage humans to be humans. And we want you to be there!

✨ Meet a Pearl Peep: Erin Duddy
Erin joined The Pearl Works in October 2021. After seeing the potential of the space and the impact it could have on the community, she even lovingly pushed us out of our comfort zone to open the doors before everything was perfect, and we’ve never looked back. I am forever grateful for the lesson she taught me about ideas and systems being good enough to let them out into the world where they can evolve and become what they are meant to be in the real world. She’s a cat lover, nature enthusiast, and non-profit professional working in the impact investing sphere. Her commitment to shifting capital towards solutions is incredibly inspirational.
