The Strallen Collective was born during the 2020 Pandemic when Summer Strallen, our founder, was quarantined in an apartment in Manhattan, having had a job she was meant to start, off Broadway, cancelled.
Summer was aware that all of her colleagues and friends were in the same predicament and was concerned to see that a lot of these highly skilled and experienced people were asking for donations to give classes online. Summer knows first hand how hard it is for creatives and wellness experts to value themselves, the work they do and the wisdom they have to offer and felt she had to do something to help guide this new ‘online class’ industry that was inevitably going to grow, to be fair and just to the ‘workers’ involved in it.Â
