Owner Mary Kate Coleman is a Fulbright scholar, a workshop facilitator for StoryCenter, a PhD candidate, a published writer, a sourdough enthusiast, and a proud mama of two IVF babies.

During 2019, MK lived in Mexico, working as an investigator with the digital storytelling project Humanizing Deportation. She collaborated one-on-one with deported individuals to create short videos about their immigration experiences. She learned a lot in Tijuana—about life, made family, the immigration system, systemic injustice. But most importantly, she learned about the power of community building through technology and storytelling.
