The Female Maker Market started off as a vision for CommUNITY during a time when CommUNITY was the most broken. The Founder, Ronnie M, a Latina small business owner, maker, and designer of her own brand, Ronnie M jewelry + accessories, understood, more than anyone, the hardship of 2020 caused to ANY small business owner. Having to deal with the magnitude of closing her brick and mortar and having to bounce back by opening with restrictions of LA county, she was able to quickly understand the swift change of shopping and the in-person experience happening.

With the vision of supporting her existing CommUNITY, Ronnie took the vision of the "pop-up market" mindset, and turned it into a monumental opportunity that caught fire very quickly. With establishing one of the first All Female Curated Pop-Up Markets in the Inland Empire and LA County, Ronnie understood what it was going to take and the dedication needed to nurture not only the Female Maker Market but the development of women in business too.

Now, in 2022, she plans to expand the FMM CommUNITY to more developmental and in-person connections beyond the Pop-Up Market. Based in the Orange County and San Diego Markets, she is determined to grow the CommUNITY, and expand across the states in 2023.
