pop-ups/activations
Rosa has been creating diverse pop-up experiences, though not all were formally documented due to their grassroots nature. Her journey began with "Rosa's Table," an intimate gathering in an old warehouse featuring a 30-foot wooden table, rustic Mexican cuisine, and carefully curated ambiance. Over the years, she has produced a wide range of events, from tattoo convention after-parties to music+art gatherings. Rosa's skill in crafting unique experiences caught the attention of major spirits brands, leading to collaborative activations. Throughout these ventures, her core objective has remained constant: bringing people together and introducing them to novel, memorable experiences that push the boundaries of conventional social gatherings.

We launched The Ink Gallery, St. Louis's first tattoo shop owned by an African American woman, Valencia Miller. The event featured a meet-and-greet where guests learned about Valencia's journey in the industry. Nappy Roots, as special guests, elevated the occasion with their presence and later gave an intimate performance at a nearby venue. A portion of the show's earnings went to St. Louis Women's Shelter.
