A huntress is always at the ready; like a forward scout, they have a bow in hand and an arrow ready to fly. Erica Bentley calls herself a huntress, and she's always looking to add the next piece to her collection @keepersvintage. The hunt for vintage has always been in Erica's blood; when she was young she studied the monthly texts. As she got older, she gained experience from the fashion high scholars and artisans, and for a short time ran with a band of other huntresses.

Episode 68 - Toluwalase Ojo

When you talk to Toluwalase, you have to say his entire name. No T, no Tolu (unless you're family), and definitely not "guy with the dreads". Growing up in Lagos, Nigeria Toluwalase saw the business end of a teacher's ruler for being disruptive. But when he moved to the States and he learned teachers weren't (legally) allowed to beat students...the disruptions got worse. He managed to turn it around and now does all he can to give back to the community in the form of opportunities for creatives, and charity for those in need.

Episode 70 - Aaron Jones and Alysha January

*A few sentences about how COVID19 has us all inside, near stir crazy, wishing we could go out for more than the essentials* but when we HAVE to go out on those essential runs, or to Druid Park to walk around wondering when that Trump check is gonna hit, health experts say we should wear a mask. In this interview I talk with Aaron Jones and Alysha January of Bushelers of Baltimore. Before the rona, they did alternations, tailoring and garment repair for the city. Now they're making masks to serve Charm City in its time of need. They don't want to get rich off the custom handmade masks, but it's put them in a position a lot of small businesses wish they could be in during this time; they're busy as hell. Listen as they talk about creating a comfortable and affordable mask, the feedback and response they've received from Baltimore residents, and how what they're doing today will impact and influence Bushelers tomorrow.
