For the past week coming down from the MAGIC & JOY that was our inaugural POC Food & Wine Festival, I still feel like I’m floating on a cloud. Is this what PURE JOY feels like?!

What was that magic that we just made? Dare I say, it felt historical!! As we took time before the event opened to circle up all our vendors and chefs, I feel like something shifted in the room, and in turn all our mini-universes. 

We were CONNECTED through a powerful shared vision. I felt the power of SPIRIT and commUNITY reverberating through my body all weekend.

You showed up, Bay Area. You did what Bay do, and you 💯 understood the assignment.

I’m in awe.
I’m in gratitude.
It feels like we went through a lifetime getting to this weekend. 

✨️ This is only the beginning️.✨

Please see below for some of the amazing photos taken from our FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHERS at the festival, along with a few critical Call to Actions that we’re asking our community to take part in.

In community with SO SO much love,
Gina Mariko Rosales
