of Juliet Media is an independent, and evolving group of serial and standalone publications, live shows, videos for education and entertainment, and more; all based on the seed of a story planted at Juliet + Company restaurants.

of Juliet is an ongoing production intended to immerse the audience inside of a world that begins at the dinner table, but never has to end. of Juliet’s range is a vast and expanding collection of magazines, comic books, coloring books, short and long form classes, cookbooks, booklets and pamphlets, children’s books, poetry, art, and more. Our topics are as myriad as the life of the seas — seasonal and regional cooking, professional development, poetry, art, personal essays and practical opinion, alongside science fiction, and magic and mythmaking, social justice, advocacy and organizing, travel, ballet of various sorts, including the classical, and a whole lot more.

of Juliet raises the voices

of the individuals who operate, work in, patronize, and are affected by restaurants (so ultimately, of Juliet can raise the voice of anyone at all). Led by the teams specific to Juliet + Company restaurants, of Juliet can be by and for anyone who stumbles through our door.

The truth of of Juliet is that truth exists, and that it exists whether we like it or not, and that life is lived through action — and that that action affects and is affected by, truth. It is a simple statement, with limitless implications. of Juliet is for anyone who is ready to be affected by truth the way a jellyfish is affected by outer space, when the detached moon of Earth affects its tides without judgement.

The purpose of of Juliet is for individuals to take action, in pursuit of a life that respects truth, and respects their own individual wants, dreams, desires, and identity without fighting the truth that the rest of us ought to do exactly that, too...and that therefore everything is allowed, and correct, all at once, except that which violates what is true. 

of Juliet is for people to take charge of their present, by dreaming their future, and honoring and accepting their past.

In more practical terms, of Juliet is for the staff of one small but growing, restaurant company  focused on creating opportunity for self expression and personal development by taking one step at a time toward a vision of a preferred future.  

of Juliet is big and bold ideas, by people who know hard work, understand collective benefit, and dare to dream the impossible to life — in pursuit of a world that is a little bit better each day than the last.
