Use Your Money-State of the Arts
I’m a Bay Area native. I’ve lived and/ or worked in Frisco, Berkeley and Oakland pretty much my entire life. I’m also a hip-hop head-artist-rapper-fighter-preserver of culture with a super critical lens for all music coming from the Bay.

Use Your Money- Why buy local?
Growing up in the Midwest, I spent a fair amount of time at the local mall. That's kind of where teen social life happened in my town. We would spend a lot of time anticipating what big, hip chain might set up shop next. Maybe the Gap will come... maybe we'll get a Target!

Use Your Money- Etsy
I have a confession: I haven’t started my holiday shopping.  That’s right, not one person on my painfully long list of those who’ve been nice has been satisfyingly checked off.  Though inexcusable, this embarrassing fact is the result of: 1) an intense (borderline obsessive) desire to give gifts of personal meaning, rather than great expense, and 2) a booked-solid calendar.
