Downline

Although LuLaRoe themselves have suffered as series of blows in recent years that have tanked the company financially, and ruined its reputation, LuLaRoe has directly inspired a swath of other MLMs. Deanne and Mark Stidham, the LuLaRoe founders, are part of a family of network marketers, all of whom started together in what became LuLaRoe.

In part one, we discuss Honey and Lace, Piphany, and introduce you to Savvi.

In part two, we talk more about Savvi, the athleisure, wanna be Fabletics MLM, DotDotSmile, a kids clothing MLM, and the gendered implications of the Boss Babes working for this paternalistic family tree that is LuLaRoe.

You've heard of buyer beware, but what about when the seller is also the buyer, and that seller has a bunch of other buyers and sellers beneath them? Who's accountable when things go wrong? Well according to LuLaRoe, it's certainly not them.
