"God has put a dream in your heart that feels bigger than yourself or anything you’ve ever done. You’re searching for answers as your emotions take you from excitement, to hope, all the way down to fear. You feel almost stuck. “Should I move forward? What risks are involved? Is this God? How do I do this?”...Whether you’ve taken that faith-leap and started your own business or you are sitting in your office contemplating the plunge, here are a few insights, words of encouragement that I want to share with you that will, I hope, enlighten and empower you at every stage of this journey…."

But what we don’t realize is that behind their silent faces lies a great tenacity and strength, because , like my mom, these women refuse to remain with the hand they were dealt. Whether coming out of situations of debilitating sickness, sexual abuse, extreme poverty or rescued from human trafficking these women are heroes because they refused to GIVE UP.

These women have managed to turn their ashes into beauty…and that beautiful scarf you hold in your hand is a testament to that. We like to say all the time that “it’s more than a scarf” , because our scarves are made by women who previously had no hope--written off as being uneducated and deemed unable to effectively contribute to society.
