While she said she was unable to incorporate women’s reproductive rights issues into the storylines for the second season of the Amazon anthology series “With Love” because scripts are locked, she said, “In my other work, would you be there? Yes! Especially women of color and especially poor women.” Wealthy women will be able to have abortions, but we need to take a look at women of color and other societies.”

I spoke to Kellett and Gellar at a pre-Mother’s Day lunch Friday hosted by fair trade retailer The Little Market in Issima at La Peer Hotel in West Hollywood.
Kellett said she was in Washington, D.C., last week to lobby for the National Endowment for the Arts. “We storytellers are visible people. We can go on and influence politics and change,” she said. “We are actors, writers, directors, but we are also citizens of this country and it can be a platform for many people. That can be very powerful.”
“I am thinking about the future of my children and I want to leave it in a more positive world,” Kellett added.
Gellar grunted, “You’re going? I told my kids I’d be chasing after them forever.”

“Today we celebrate all the resilient moms we work with at Little Market,” Skvarla said. “When Lauren and I started Little Market nearly 10 years ago, that was before either of us became moms, but we’ve learned that when moms are empowered, the multiplier effect is incredible. Preventable diseases go down, kids go to school, girls learn and get Mothers get more rights and women get more rights. We were inspired by that and that’s why we created The Little Market.”
COVID presented logistical challenges for the small market. For example, the company’s sugar scrub product was made in Chicago but “the artisans who made it can no longer do that there because of COVID and capacity issues, so we’ve already identified this group of women in Los Angeles who were trafficked and transported,” Skfarla explained. As creative as possible and we support artisans as much as possible.”
Conrad added: “A lot of the groups we work with live in areas that are really disproportionately affected by the COVID virus, so work has become even more important. We have a wonderful community built around Little Market and everyone has been so amazing in supporting us in so many different ways, spreading the message and telling the stories of the artisans. .”
