This Connecting Makers interactive learning session will be led by Karin Celestine of Celestine and the Hare.

No matter what you make, this will be a rich two hours of how to use your own newsletters, social media, and Substack to find and build your tribe with love, inclusiveness, and sustainability, and perhaps expand your business model. Please bring your questions.
