How the event element became an integral part of their retail model
Creating a space where facilitators can come to The Sable Collective to help carry out their missions
How Mayers and Scott ensure that events stay aligned with The Sable Collective’s pillars
Examples of how they adapt events to participants, including offering childcare
Intentionally becoming a resource for the community with mental and financial health events
Why consistency matters
How social media is the horse for the message
