Hello San Pedro

In this final episode of our mini series focusing on small pop-up vendors in the San Pedro community we speak with Kelly Main, the creator and operator of Common Soul Collective, an aromatherapy product company. Like many others small vendors we have spoken to, this business was also born out of the pandemic and has been an endeavor that has brought her and family closer together. Kelly runs this business with her daughters and they each use their strengths to contribute to its success. This conversation highlights the value and importance of mothers in society and address the often little regard in which we hold them in.  In this episode she tells us what it was like to grow in San Pedro in the Pt. Fermin area as a young girl. She also shares her personal journey to self-care which is a value that has inspired the brand.  

We absolutely loved our conversation with Kelly and she has inspired us in so many ways. We hope you enjoy also!

As we continue our series on amazing pop-up vendors that have emerged out of the pandemic, it is  our pleasure to introduce to you the creators behind the local pop-up business What the Succulent: Brittany Herrera, Antonina Herrera and  Angela Andrews. Unfortunately, only Brittany and Angela could join us for this episode but their stories will hit home with many of our European immigrant community. Angela tells us how her family immigrated from Sicily, Italy over the course of five years nearly fifty-one years ago. She describes what it was like settling into San Pedro and starting school as a young girl without speaking English. Brittany shares what it was like  growing up in a large Italian family here in San Pedro and how this community will always be her forever home.  Both women work professionally in other fields, Brittany as a social worker with Los Angeles County and Angela as Operation Project Specialist for Rainbow Services, and operate What the Succulent with their third partner Antonina as a business that grew from a beloved hobby.

In our continued series featuring San Pedro vendors, we welcome Amber Onorato, a local crafter and owner of Twenty-Two Crafts. In this week’s episode, we learn about Amber’s San Pedro upbringing plus her multi-generational roots in this town. Amber and Amanda inform newbie Jess about the sunken part of Paseo Del Mar’s iconic ocean-view drive that connected Royal Palms to the other side of White Point Nature Center. Amber shares what it was like working from home during the pandemic with her husband and how the slower pace of life at the time allowed her to reprioritize her time and return to what she loves – crafting. We chat about what it truly means to shop local and prioritize quality and longevity. With her business Twenty-Two Crafts,  Amber made it a point to donate a percentage of sales to charities dear to her and her customers. From hand-crafted garlands to homemade gifts and personalized home decor, Amber’s crafts are special and cherished by her customers.

You can follow Twenty-Two Crafts on instagram, @twentytwocrafts, to stay up to date on her latest neighboring pop-up.
