What a fun idea to have catered boba at your next event! Thank you to @bobagems for being this month's WFA Member Discount and offering $25 off a catering package and free menu tastings. You can request to have the service done in reusable cups! They also sell beautiful low-waste boba kits and stand alone cup/lid/straw combos.

With Earth Day approaching, I have yearned the idea of offering a digital rewards program where business stamp cards aren't needed. Then, I stumbled upon @paperlessperks and have joined to introduce our new digital loyalty card that can be saved and carried with in your Google or Apple wallet for @bobagems . If you would like to incorporate this also to your business, you can join with my affiliate link in bio 🔗 /?via=malisa790 However, if you very much prefer a physical card (I recently got a custom hand carved stamp by a local business @cataround_stamp and will happily stamp our physical cards). Download today to use for our next pop up by visiting our website / at the top of our page. We will be launching for use in June for these upcoming events but wanted to get the word out 🌎 🌱 Upcoming Mobile-Pop ups to use your Digital Loyalty Card 💎 @portlandfarmers (@builtoregon ) 5/30 💎 @ohsufarmersmarket 6/2 💎@veganizerpdx Asian Market 6/7 📸 @trenellev @tvpixx

I love our Artist Residency program 💞 Since 2022, we’ve brought on a new visual storyteller each year to capture our WSW or Women Supporting Women movement, community and ecosystem ✊🏽 This year we’re working with @trenellev of @tvpixx and her approach is a beautiful capture of the essence of our work together. She chose to highlight the employees, owners, customers, and spaces of a few locations and added her own voiceover to tell the story of our annual fundraiser Dine Out for WSW ✨ Locations featured include: @wajanpdx @pasarpdx @blendspdx @redsaucepizza @mestizo.pdx @lafloriditapdx @memento.mori.cafe @bobagems @fork_and_spoon_pdx @pamanapdx @laakateka 👉🏽Please watch and share the video she created about our Women’s History Month Campaign that spotlighted 15 Food & Beverage woman owned brands and raised money for grants we’ll issue to women entrepreneurs this year 💫 📸This is the first time Trenelle is trying out this format and I love fueling her creativity. Photos in the cover are also taken by her. I’m excited to see what she captures next! Previous Artists in Residency at @alist_wsw include: Jessica Vanterpool (2022), Mika Martinez (2023), Hannah Bernabe (2024) and Brandi Herrera (2025).

We’re heading into year 6 of WSW with new programming rolling out. Stay tuned 💫 Thanks again to our participants who also identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ owned with locations that stretch from Troutdale to Beaverton, OR👇🏽 @blendspdx @bobagems @fork_and_spoon_pdx @laakateka @lafloriditapdx @likelyivy @memento.mori.cafe @mestizo.pdx @pamanapdx @pasarpdx @redsaucepizza @sandysmyanmarcuisine @pdxboozyscoop @wajanpdx @yuipdx Thank you to to our match sponsors who doubled our impact @intentionalist_ and @jen.jfcreative 🙌🏽 Thank you to @onpointcu for sponsoring our $50 in discounts at each location 🙏🏽 It was a pleasure to work with the community once again to demonstrate the power of women supporting women ⚡️ Thank you to everyone who showed up.

We support local or collaborate with small businesses where possible. Our mobile cart was handcrafted by Stephanie Garcilazo's husband, @gs.sweet.party in Vancouver, WA Please help us vote with this link (one vote per day) until Mar 31st. We will also link this in our bio /2026-excellence-awards-finalists Thank you to Amy Lor, of @lastingmemories.pdx for voluntarily capturing some photos of our collapsible bar and drinks at our most recent pop up as a contribution to Women's Month 📸 @lastingmemories.pdx

NEW: WSW Products For Proceeds 💰 In a climate of reduced funding for women, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ business owners, we need to get creative to keep our community in business. What can we do to take care of us? In honor of Women’s History Month I’m excited to announce @alist_wsw is dedicating 2026 to partnering with others to find out 🙋🏽‍♀️ When I reached out to Malisa Tep @simply.malisa to be our first WSW Product For Proceeds, she immediately said yes. I’ll cover the whole sale cost of the @bbteajars lid if it doesn’t sell, but if they do, WSW gets a percentage of the proceeds. Plus, I’ll help with marketing and I need a new lid myself⚡️ What happened next was Malisa exploring more merch ideas as an added revenue stream for @bobagems vs. using her custom lids for private events only. AND these lids came out so cute 🥰 👉🏽The WSW fund is completely separate of ALIST. It has its own checking account to fund WSW projects. Any donation to the GoFundMe goes directly into the account 💞 ➡️These bamboo lids are being offered for a limited time for $10 and $3 of every sale will be donated to WSW. Link in bio to get yours to help raise even more money to support women founders. Plus @bbteajars are eco friendly🧋♻️ If you would like to collab on a WSW product or project for proceeds this year, please don’t hesitate to reach out ✊🏽 Women power women 💫 #womenshistorymonth #investinwomen #womensupportingwomen #ecosystem #communityovercompetition
