"Everything that's beautiful starts with a broken heart."-Glennon Melton
Do you look at the world and wonder,
"For the love, what can I do to make this a better place to live?"
Do you look at the world and wonder,

I do.
A LOT.
And I sometimes forget how much I've been given and power I have to change it.
Just a friendly reminder:
If you're reading this, you have power, too.
In fact, did you know that supporting and sustaining job creation in the artisan sector is one of the most powerful things you can do to change our world for the better?
For many, education opportunities are scarce and learning a skill in the artisan sector can be a HUGE step in breaking the cycle of poverty for them and their families. Supporting fair trade artisan goods elevates the worth of their profession and raises demand for everyone.
And the number one thing they need is consistent orders.
They're not looking for charity or handouts;
the work of their hands provides them not only an income but purpose and dignity.
So this is what I want you to do: Host a trunk show!

This the the best job I've ever had, hands down.
My job is to advocate for the poor, teach women that "style" is more accessible than they think, and to show you that we are all more connected than we can possibly image:
going to to Rwanda last summer, I learned that to the depth of my soul
Go check out what it means to be an ambassador and shoot me an email if you think you're up for the challenge.
Let's talk. ;)
