On October 10 from 1 to 3 PM CT, we’ll launch the series with a conversation exploring supporting small businesses and the mindset of craftHER Market. In this talk, we’ll discuss with fellow small business owners about what it means to shop local, support small and show up.

Rachel Musquiz (she/her) is an Ayurvedic chef & herbalist who uses the concept that "food is medicine" to create the menu at her food truck Curcuma & her line of products Luna Fixa. Rachel believes the key to entrepreneurship is community & stays active collaborating and supporting other women & their businesses.

Justin Galicz (he/him) and Kirt Reynolds (he/him) are husbands and the owners of The Little Gay Shop, a queer marketplace in Austin, TX. Galicz is a full time graphic designer and Reynolds is a retail manager and photographer. After moving to Austin from New York City over two years ago, they came up with the idea to open a shop selling art, books and magazines exclusively from queer-identifying people. They wanted to create an inclusive, welcoming and diverse store where every customer can see themselves reflected in a piece of work. In their spare time, the two raise their two dogs, a Shih-Tzu named Gus and a terrier mutt named Tater Tot, and their five backyard chickens. They enjoy the Austin beer and food scene and frequently buy plants that they later kill.
Joi Chevalier (she/her) is the founder of The Cook’s Nook, a culinary incubator providing shared production space and business development for Austin-area artisans, caterers, and cooks at early-stages of their culinary business so that they can be successful. Joi Chevalier has catered events around Austin, including the kitchens of large events like ACL and the Austin Food and Wine Festival. When she’s not at The Cook’s Nook, she’s tending roses, looking through her telescope, doing high performance driver’s education events, or traveling with her husband and her niece.
Born in Dallas, 26-year-old Tiffany Hunter (she/her) is a Texas-based creator, glammer, and entrepreneur. The stylist, model, and creative trained at The Aveda Institute in Houston, and moved to Austin in 2013 to continue training under a Global Style Director of Aveda for 3 years before styling on national and global tours with acts like Alina Baraz and Coldplay. She eventually returned to Texas, settling back into Austin behind the chair for go-to glam in salon and on set.
