Your feed could use a little Más. 👀 We talk marketing, storytelling, fundraising, and all the messy parts in between. We share what we’re learning, what we’re thinking, and what we think the industry could be doing better. Plus, we’re Afro-Latina, Queer, Neurodivergent & Nonbinary-led. 🌈 If you’re into more thoughtful marketing, community-centered storytelling, and a little bit of “wait, why do we do it that way?” energy, you’re in the right place. Give us a follow and stick around. 💛 An image of founders, Alyson and Rae, looking at an ipad and smiling. Text around the photo: Reasons to Follow (or unfollow) us. We're afro-latina, queer, neurodivergent, & nonbinary-led, our work is centered on equity and access, we prioritize strategy over trends, we prioritize queer and BIPOC perspective, we do digital marketing without the cookie-cutter advice, multicultural marketing is our thing, we prioritize storytelling rooted in real communities

We recently joined @peoplefirsteconomy for a two-part Marketing Fundamentals workshop with a group of Grand Rapids entrepreneurs at @the_arts_marketplace . We spent time talking about the pieces that tend to get overlooked when you’re running a business and doing your own marketing: - What does your brand actually stand for? - Who are you trying to reach? - What makes you different? - And how do you turn all of that into a plan you can realistically keep up with? We also got into the not-so-fun stuff that can make a good message fall flat: broken links, inconsistent messaging, hard-to-read colors, and content that feels like it’s always trying to sell you something. One takeaway we wanted everyone to leave with: posting every day is not a marketing strategy. Start with your audience. Set a goal. Map out the dates that matter to your business. Then look for the stories, education, community moments, and other content that can fill in the gaps. Swipe through for a few of the fundamentals we covered. Save it for your next marketing planning day. ❤️ Big thanks to People First Economy for inviting us to be part of the conversation and for creating space for local entrepreneurs to build their businesses.

Back to our roots en La Granbil corridor, a few blocks away from where Más co-owners (Rae and Alyson) first met. Our careers and friendship both started in the Supporting Our Leaders (SOL) Youth Program @hispaniccenterwm — preparing neighborhood youth for leadership, higher ed/trade school, and a career. Today we had the opportunity to present our entrepreneurship journey and lead a pitch workshop at Southwest High School. We were blown away by the creativity, passion, and business ideas! From crochet pencil cases and handmade beaded flowers, to screen printed shirts and handmade hats y mucho más. Gracias Ben for going above and beyond in your economics classes to give hands-on learning experiences and @wmhcc for sharing the opportunity with us! #Entrepreneurship #workshop #somosmas #lagranbil

A Love Letter to Libraries: "I was a nerdy, excited little reader who spent the majority of her summers at various public libraries from the rural area of Western Michigan to larger cities like New York and Chicago. Why? Because the reading material throughout my education was uninteresting, and obsessed with reducing stories about women and people of color to their trauma, never our joy, complexity, or power." "The library gave me everything my curriculum didn't - the library gave me the world. In the library, I could read about the cultural shifts and history of the Dominican Republic, learning about the culture and the language I belonged to but rarely saw reflected in my textbooks. I devoured everything I could find on the Civil Rights Movement, not the sanitized version we got in class, but the full, complicated, human story." "And then I found authors like bell hooks and Toni Morrison, who showed characters with such dimension, passion, and depth—characters who carried feelings I'd struggled to describe even to myself. They gave me words for experiences I didn't know had names. They showed me what self-love looked like when the world around me didn't reflect me back. In the library, I didn't feel the eyes following me. No one was going to bother me and ask if I needed help from the ESL teacher. I could just be me." This is a snippet from our upcoming issue of ¿Qué más?, A Love Letter to Libraries, written by Co-Owner and Founder, Alyson Ramirez. Subscribe in our bio to our free multicultural digital mag. Here's to the libraries that raised us, the books that saved us, and the stories that remind us: the greatest love story is the one where you see yourself. Con mucho amor y te mereces todo — with so much love, you deserve it all. AL + Rae 📸: @createdwithbriphotography #valentinesday #loveyourlibrary #quémás #somosmas The image looks like a valentine with words "To: Libraries" "From: Más" with a picture of an afrolatina woman holding "all about love" by bell hooks and smiling surrounding by books.
