Surviving a Woke Mob - SJW Knitting Wars

Keri talks with Maree Buscke, Maria Tusken and Jennifer Richardson about how to survive a woke mob if you or your small business has been targeted. Maree, Maria and Jennifer are OG targets of the SJW Knitting Wars (and Sewing Wars) and all three stood their ground instead of apologizing to the mob. Hear what they learned, what they'd do differently, and best advice for what to do when falsely accused and mobbed.

Maree Buscke has been knitting for more than 40 years and has spent the last 14 years turning her hobby into a business. She's part of Design Spun Ltd, the last worsted process commercial spinning mill in New Zealand, developing and managing it's direct to retail business, Skeinz. Maree also owns Knit August Nights - a knitting retreat that for the last 10 years has gathered international tutors and like minded crafters to share in a single passion - yarn.

Jennifer Richardson, aka "Lil' Ragamuffin" is a natural-born female who enjoys her stereotypical gender role as a wife and mother. She took her love of sewing from a hobby to a kick ass business designing unique sewing patterns inspired by vintage styles.
