Social media maven Amanda de Cadenet started her companyy Girlgaze as a social hashtag, but soon after was able to grow it into an offline media company. Girlgaze is a digital media company that promotes the work of female photographers and directors. De Cadenet shared with Cheddar how her organization has landed her a partnership with Google Pixel, to further help support young female-identifying photographers and directors, as they start their career. She explained that big partnerships like that help legitimize the photographers and accelerate their goals. The entrepreneur spoke with Alyssa Julya Smith in Los Angeles about what inspired her to create the company, and how much she would have appreciated an organization that supported her the same way that she's created a platform that supports women, as she was starting out in the industry.

Small grocers and convenience stores feel an impact as customers go without SNAP benefits
Some small grocery stores and neighborhood convenience stores are eager for the U.S. government shutdown to end and for their customers to start receiving federal food aid again. Late last month, the Trump administration froze funding for the SNAP benefits that about 42 million Americans use to buy groceries. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says about 74% of the assistance was spent last year at superstores like Walmart and supermarkets like Kroger. Around 14% went to smaller stores that are more accessible to SNAP beneficiaries. A former director of the United Nations World Food Program says SNAP is not only a social safety net for families but a local economic engine that supports neighborhood businesses.
