  This was an interesting panel. It seems like what got them started was the women's liberation movement in the 1960's and that initial momentum was sustained by the college/university market.
  
  The main takeaway is that all successful companies, no matter how large, start small with a single concept. One of the founders talked about traveling from town to town with a print, but creating a mailing list of all the venues she exhibited in and that was the basis of their initial customer list.

  Don't we have something like this with the AaFFRM?

  I am an AAFFRM leader and it is a co-op in that we put in sweat as a group and we see monetary return. But we shouldn't be all that's out there and we are not. There are many interesting parties doing interesting things in this area. Take care.

  @Laura and Kenya, I agree. We cannot stop with just one. These dismissive attitudes hinder progress! I hope many learn about and start ventures of their own in regard to distribution...

  @Laura-- I know, right? You's a hater, Thompson. There's room for more than one company.

  Even if AaFFRM was a cooperative (which it isn't), why should be satisfied with that one company with so much good content needed to be distributed.

  AFFRM is not a co-operative. Ava owns it lock, stock and barrel.
