With Women’s History Month in full swing, it’s the perfect time to host some of our favorite MOTHER + In Good Company community members in our backyard of San Francisco. Over 100 incredible women gathered at the iconic Ferry Building for a delicious organic lunch by Amy’s Kitchen, a powerful panel featuring Rati Sahi, CEO and President of The RealReal, strategist and activist Jamira Burley, artist and entrepreneur Jessica Hische, and moderated by yours truly—and so much more.
Our event also included a variety of women-powered activations—including all-day coffee by Lady Falcon Coffee Company, a beauty bar by Well People (including a meet-and-greet with pioneering clean beauty founder Shirley Pinkson), a delectable dessert spread by Rivera’s Boulevard, skin and scalp treatments by Shaped AF, and take-home bouquets by MOTHER favorite Natalie B. Designs.
Guests went home with their hearts, minds, and arms full—thanks to overflowing goodie bags featuring gifts from The RealReal, Oilogic, Cheerie Lane, Zenni, People I’ve Loved, Tubby Todd, Yogasleep, Mon Ami, Sugar Paper x Breathing Room Home, Canary, Calm, Little Spoon, Brycie Prints, Rivera’s Boulevard, Vahdam Teas, Rothy’s, Candlewick Press, The Ferry Building, All Better Co., 38Tera, Potli, Shaped AF, Mosaic Hotel Collection, Grand Tongo, Neuro Gum, Embrace, Blue Stripes, Grüns, Dream Recovery, The Nurtured Seedling, JH&F, and Studioworks. Thank you to everyone who added to the day’s undeniable magic!
