The Paper Plane Cocktail Hour: The Perfect Pitch
Manage episode 292538762 series 2801139
The lack of racial diversity in the stationery community came into clear focus last summer. So, on July 16th 2020, The Greeting Card Association (GCA) attempted to begin to change that by hosting its first ever *Noted Pitch Program for Black-Owned Companies and Makers. No one knew it at that time, but that event planted the seeds for Black Joy Paper, a diverse and visionary greeting card collective. Now, nearly one year later, we talk with one of its founders, Greta Heida, and two of her Pitch Program discoveries, Tiffany McGraw of Paper Rehab and Lauren-Ashley Barnes of Pineapple Sundays Design Studio.
