Food & Retail
Supporting small businesses is integral to the Lets.Give values. We've created a diverse pop-up shop lane where local vendors can sell their goods, creations with no fees. They can broaden their network and ideally grow their business through community support.

Christina García
@pristine_la
My name is Christina garcia and I am the proud owner of Pristine Boutique. Pristine Boutique is my baby aside my career as a case manager/ family advocate for a non profit Headstart. I began my business due to me not liking many plus size styles out there for me. So I launched Pristine Boutique back in 2015. Slowly but surely I am gaining more experience and am able to provide my customers with unapologetic plus size clothing. Through my business I launched my body positive campaign "Love Your Lonjas" i hope to reach those who are having a hard time accepting their bodies because of society's "norms". It is important for me that when a customer shops with me they feel empowered through their outfits and feel that they can take over the world. Which ties it back to my Boutique name "Pristine", in its original condition, unspoiled or uncorrupted by society.

@kalypsothepoet @blacksheep_binding
I am a self taught book binder by way of poetry, from East LA. I started making hand bound journals for myself when I no longer agreed with the price for a cheap machine made journal from the store. I began binding books over three years ago, as a hobby, and I got really into it, after two years of working alone I decided to look for a teacher... in 2017 I began an apprenticeship with a master binder in Hollywood and have continued to bind journals and strengthen my knowledge and skills in book arts. You can find my work on instagram

Tres Mil Besos is herbal medicine blowing kisses of ancestral knowledge to those who need it most. To this day the lingering traumas from these stolen lands continue to impede our journey towards healing. The yerbitas in each bottle are intentionally picked and blended with amor y ceremonia to help them find their way to the special person it was meant for, you! We ask that you open your heart to receive the tres mil besos waiting from within.
