Who are we?
Hannah Said has spent over a decade building at the intersection of equity, community, and entrepreneurship — leading DEI strategy at The Walt Disney Company, Lyft, and the San Francisco Regional Center. She has secured over $1M in grant funding, facilitated leadership and cross-cultural workshops for organizations including Google, LA Times, YMCA, Ice Miller, and The Arc, and designed cohort-based learning programs for thousands of people.
Hannah is thrilled to be head of business development at Woven.
We met at the dog park in Eagle Rock in 2022. For years, we’d seen each other there but Mia was really sick so they sat by themselves and stared at their phone on a log at the edge of the park. They looked longingly at Hannah and her friends—she seemed to collect really fun people. Hannah thought Mia seemed cool, but didn’t talk to them because she thought Mia was a freak on a log, understandably.
Then, unbeknownst to Hannah, Mia pooped out a tapeworm (yeah!!!!) and began to feel much, much better. They came out of their shell and began to have a social life again. Meanwhile, Hannah was building Saffron Cowboy.
One day, Hannah started selling pup cups (tiny cups of whipped cream) and coffee outside the dog park. Mia got one for their dog, Tennessee but didn’t have the guts to introduce themself. Then, a few weeks later. Mia saw Hannah at a bar even though Hannah doesn’t really drink alcohol and Mia bravely said, “Hi, I’ve seen you at the dog park.”
They became bffs and so did their doggies, Tennessee and Amara. They (the humans) bonded over their decisions to go into business for themselves, their love of dogs, and ultimately—for better and for worse—their illnesses. They helped each other get better, build community, and now they’ve joined forces to create and share Woven.
Mia Schachter is the founder of Consent Wizardry — an online school where they have helped 100+ entrepreneurs build and launch their businesses over 5+ years. Mia served as Tinder's Resident Consent Educator. Their forthcoming book, How to Do Consent (Without Sounding Like A Robot), comes out in the Fall with North Atlantic Books (Fall 2026).
Mia is excited to be the lead curriculum developer and educator for self-employed creatives at Woven.
We think we make a great team.
Our skillsets seamlessly interlock. Mia brings the consent and communication foundation with a penchant for curriculum building — how to set rates without apologizing, how to enter into agreements that protect you, how to say no to a project you don’t want so you can say yes to the ones you do. Hannah brings the operational and strategic side — how to file paperwork, build a brand, secure partnerships, and price your offerings, plus she’s excellent at talking to strangers. Our collaboration models what we teach: building something sustainable means knowing what you're good at, naming what you're not, and finding the right people to weave in. This approach, along with our desire to build cross-faith solidarity as a Muslim and a Jew, brought us to our name, Woven.
We’d love to work with you.
