Meet Lynnette Cabrera, a multimedia artist and co-owner of Equinox Productions LLC.

Living on a rural island with an ever-changing demographic, Lynnette learned that diversifying her creative work and income wasn't just a good idea, it was a matter of survival. She's a writer, filmmaker, musician, wreathmaker, painter, AND storyteller.

Along the way she's learned a thing or two about making a creative business work! Her advice? Know your audience, know what you're great at (and hire out what you're not!), and don't skip out on the trusted tools that make running your business a whole lot easier.

This How-To Guide breaks all our preconceived notions and replaces it with digestible tips and tricks that you can use today. Because networking doesn't have to suck!

We talked with Geronimo about what sets Midnight Supply Company apart from other print houses, being a woman of color in her field and why diversity in business isn't optional — it's indispensable.
