 Locallectual Interview At Darden Video

Who We Are: 

We’re Karen and Jessica, and we’re the first to proudly call ourselves Locallectuals. We’re forward thinking, we’re smart, and we’re tired of being disappointed by country of origin labels. We know that there’s power in what we buy, and we’re looking to harness that influence to benefit local economies—and more importantly, the planet.

We believe it’s important to be knowledgeable about the origin of the products we buy as well as the practices of manufacturers. We believe companies should do their best to forge beneficial relationships with their workers, their communities, and the globe, while producing quality goods.

We’re also busy. We know that seeking out this kind of invaluable knowledge can be time consuming. The less time you spend researching purchases, the more time you have to enjoy them, your family, your community, and your world.
