Artist: Charlesa Peters with the Evolve Brand
Artist Bio:
I currently reside in Oxford, MS, and I'm the owner of The Evolve Brand. I got into the stationery industry in April 2023, while I was in the process of looking for a job. One day, I wanted to learn how to create a digital planner and as I got the hang of it, I took the idea I had and began designing my first planner called The Essentials Planner.
Charlesa's CSA Goal:
Through this program, I want to connect with potential customers and increase brand awareness. With the funds I receive from this program, I will be able to decrease the amount of labor by purchasing a heavy duty guillotine, which will help me cut more sheets of paper at a time. I will also be able to purchase another laser printer for quicker production. Another goal I want to achieve is to provide a solution to people who have a hard time keeping themselves organized and prioritizing their goals, whether it's for work, academic, or personal.
Charlesa's Shares:
Custom Planner: $35 - If you're the type of person who has trouble committing to a planner, my undated planner is perfect for you. You are able to start or stop whenever you want (and save money), unlike a dated planner. I think the most beneficial option to have is customization. There are so many women (and men) who struggle to find the perfect planner and to solve that problem, I have started offering a custom planner service. With this option, I give you the ability to create a planner that actually fits your needs.
Budget Planner: $35 - The Budget Planner is perfect for someone who is new to budgeting and doesn't want to be overwhelmed. I created this planner for people who want to set financial goals and get a clear overview of income and expenses. In this planner, you will find a financial goals section, debt tracker, bills tracker, paycheck breakdown, expense tracker, and more. Every page is very easy to follow and straight to the point. Using a budget planner helps reduce financial stress, make better financial decisions, create financial accountability, and allows you to prepare for major expenses. Don't continue into 2024 with the same spending habits!

About the CSA
Each year the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council challenges creative entrepreneurs to formulate a goal for their business and to use the CSA to achieve or move toward it. Creatives use the CSA to share their story and invite people to support their growth as artists and entrepreneurs.
Similar to Community Supported Agriculture, this program asks early investors to support artists by buying shares that artists will deliver by the end of the program in June. Supporters order shares from January through June, and participants must have their orders completed by the end of June.
When you purchase a share, you are not only receiving a unique item, you are supporting the growth of small businesses in your community. You can follow your arts entrepreneur from the initial idea through the creative process. Connect with the unique stories that define our community!
