Breyanna stopped by the FFS Studio to visit her favorite subreddit, Am I the @$$hole. The AITA subreddit where users post situations that they are involved with in order for others to cast their judgement and determine who really is the a-hole.  Listen as we cast our votes on drug dealers, secret-spilling sisters and dads who think their son deserve a massive breakup. Stay tuned for Brey's full episode!

For Folks’ Sake was blessed this past week with a visit from Kinsey Paul, founder and owner of Eleven11 Concepts. We discussed her childhood in Pittsburgh where she fell in love with making her ideas come to life through clay pottery and hand making outfits for her Barbies.

Walk down memory lane with us as we revisit our mischievous days at Nordstrom Beauty and the trouble a lunch break at the Cheesecake Factory could result in.

Our February focus is the Celebration of Black Women and we couldn’t be more excited to kick off February with Kinsey.

The third guest in our Puget Sound Business Owner focus is Jenn Villalobos. She is the owner of JennyVFromTheBlok, a custom design company that makes everything from charcuterie boards, ornaments, key chains, beanies and so much more. Jenn sat down with me to talk about what its like raising a daughter who is strong in her preferences and how her children motivated her to begin her business in the first place. Jenn also spills the tea on Apple sending her a cease and desist letter and how it feels to see her own design replicated by a fellow laser designer. Jenn also lets us in on her favorite product and most popular product. This episode will make you laugh, cry and inspire you to just go for it!
