Sprinkled with Sazon Apothecary and Botanica
Donation protected
Hola Mi Gente! Greetings!
I pray that you are well and feeling whole wherever you may be.
I'm not sure exactly where to begin but the same way I start my prayers, I'll start in gratitude. I want to thank each and every one of you who has shown love and support throughout the years. You just don't know what your kind testimonials, shares, likes, and word of mouth referrals have meant to and for me.
For the past four years (FOUR YEARS!!!) Sprinkled w/ Sazon Apothecary and Botanica fka CBGSWS has provided spiritual wellness tools and consulting as well as a variety of other holistic offerings to individuals, companies, agencies, organizations and communities. The last time I was here asking for financial support, it was to complete my Spiritual Herbalism program (2020). Together, we accomplished that goal and ever since I've been adding to my herbal knowledge and sharing it with as many people who would listen. This time I need you for the next phase of EXPANSION!!
In the last 18 months, I have been in a very thoughtful, intentional incubation. I've been blessed to share space with some very unique individuals and opportunities that have helped me to think deeply about the many different ways that I can use my gifts. However, I haven't always been able to take full advantage of these opportunities as the harsh reality of running a business can sometimes hinder progress.
This is where YOU come in!
In order to actualize my dream of eventually opening a physical space for my apothecary and botanica, I need money. Truthfully, I've accrued some debt as a first time business owner with very little structural support. In order to move forward on the good foot, I'd like to cancel all debts and start fresh with some new implementations in place.
I realize that the goal to rent or own will take time but in the meanwhile, I'd like to create better awareness around the brand. I'd love to represent for queer, BIPOC, single momprenuers by showing up to more festivals and vending opportunities this summer but the cost of permits, vendor applications, transportation and inventory is HIGH. This limits my access in certain spaces.
