I am participating in the latest Femme Fatale DC pop-up shop at 100 Florida Ave in Washington DC. This pop-up is a wonderful opportunity for you to shop local and incredibly unique items - fashion, art, cosmetics, food, and much more. The store is open Tuesday through Saturday 11am to 8pm until December 24. We have tons of interesting events (check online calendar for updates). Join in on the fun!

The pop-up shop is also a great place for you to meet lovely womyn* who are pursuing their creative dreams. So, it is my pleasure to introduce to you some of the forces of nature that share a space called Gift Shop! Read below about who they are, what they have to say about the Femme Fatale DC opportunity, and hop over to their websites and Instragram accounts to get even more insight into their intriguing business adventures!

About Femme Fatale DC

FFDC is the District's womyn-only collective of local womyn creatives & entrepreneurs. The goal is to foster and sustain our local community of womyn who support one another's creative & business endeavors. We build meaningful friendships & business relationships, and appreciate one another's gifts. ​

*We spell womyn with a "y" because it is a small reminder that every womyn is completely whole on their own. No romantic relationship, man or whoever, is ever needed to feel infinite love and gratitude. All the love an individual needs exists within themselves. ​
