Forth Chicago is an organization that creates intentional events for Chicago’s creative women entrepreneurs. One of the Forth founders, Julie Schumacher, is also a member of my three-person, “Copy Coven.” Julie, Betsy Mikel and I got together one afternoon to do a podcast episode about radical transparency, working with mission-driven organizations, and transcending the capitalistic grind as part of our business model.

In 2006, I attended Chicago’s Renegade Craft Fair and interviewed artisans and attendees about their experience for Venus Zine’s YouTube channel.
