What It's About
An update from an artist that makes a statement with each piece of jewelry.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1223
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone whose story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Recent segments have featured someone leading urban hiking tours in San Francisco and a woman who quits her job to go all-in with her side hustle selling monogrammed scarves—but then feels isolated and ends up getting another job, while still selling scarves on the side. There’s more than one way to make this work for you! Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Stacey Bowers, who we featured long, long ago (Ep. 124 - Smash the Patriarchy with Hand-Stamped Feminist Jewelry). She makes handmade jewelry and was doing something like $25,000/year when we did the story, but has come a long way since. She describes her work as subversive—it has a lot of personality and therefore stands out from a lot of other sellers with similar items. That’s what attracted me to it in the first place.
