It's my birthday week, babes! I turned 33 and I couldn't be more excited to be alive. I thought I'd take this opportunity to re-introduce myself and ask you to do the same.
Hi! My name is Maria and I am the witch (along with several other amazing individuals) behind Seagrape! We've probably emailed, DMed, spoken in person or zoomed together since I have my hands in every part of this beloved business.
I started Seagrape 11 years ago with no clear vision or money, just some erotic nudes and an entrepreneurial spirit. Over the years I've channeled all my desire, pleasure, joy, fear, messiness, risk taking, and love of beauty into Seagrape, letting it morph organically into the beacon it is today, serving a community of babes in search of these values.
This business allows me to take up space and step fully into myself in ways I never knew was possible in a job. I made and grew this business in hopes of creating a space where creativity, values, pleasure, ancestral knowledge, and handmade objects would intersect. I choose this path everyday- even when it is rocky and unpredictable because I believe in the MAGIC that is Seagrape. Not only does it support me, my staff, and the 50+ makers we stock but it brings so much medicine and beauty to both
the local and national community of Seagrape babes. Thank you to each and everyone one of you for being in community with me, for showing up in support, and for letting me see your beautiful, authentic selves through your growths.
A few fun facts about me: I love black tea more then almost anything. I am a really private person even though I'm naked on the internet all the time (it's just a body!) I love to bake but never use a recipe because my ma taught me to eyeball everything. I love solitude.
I'd love it if you introduced yourself and told me a fun fact about you, or what you get from Seagrape!
