Join our host, Laura Magruder, as she introduces Fringe & Flourish.

Our mission is to bring those who make up the fringe, and anyone who chose a different career path, a sense of community and understanding. Not only that, but to showcase insight into the behind-the-scenes work and challenges to those who hold traditional job titles.

We believe that those making up the fringe are the ones holding our culture together.

Imagine a world without a bartender giving you a drink after a hard day.

How would our self-image be without hairstylists and barbers?

What entertainment would we have without musicians and artists?

We utilize these service providers everyday, yet we still hear an essence of “get a real job.”

I challenge you all to think of a world without us.

This is to create a space of learning, community, love, and understanding.

This is to validate those who sometimes feel lost trying to forge their way to success
