Named for the ancient Greek priestess who has been credited with inventing the Socratic method in Plato’s Symposium, Diotima centers Caribbean artisanal techniques and processes. “I’ve been building relationships with these incredible people who have important knowledge, and I wanted there to be an opportunity for more of a collaborative element,” Scott says. “I know how crazy it sounds to start something in the middle of a pandemic, but it just seemed like it was the moment to do it.
