About Me -Samantha (23)

As a child I loved going to free events with my mom, when I was there it always felt like an endless summer.

No matter what season it is - that is the energy that many people experience at Get Flea.

Where running into a childhood friend is normal and finding clothes that match your personality is easy.

I started Get Flea in December 2020 to give young entrepreneurs from all backgrounds a real shot at success.

Every event is designed to open doors, create experiences, and celebrate the spirit of Chicago.

It started in my backyard as a safe way to interact with the community after a long period of isolation during COVID-19 and to give my friends who were Depop sellers an in-person location to sell.

I wanted to mix my entrepreneurial spirit with something in the field of fashion & arts.

So, at just 17 years old I rented my first storefront in west Humboldt Park and it picked up from there growing to over 80 vendors at a single event.
