I am a creative mama of three (Charlie, Frankie, and Edison), married to a pretty rad guy (Billy), I’ve got a big heart, and I want to make the world a better place. I can’t even wrap my head around NOT being able to provide for my children, not being able to tuck them in a cozy bed each night, unable to provide them a healthy and balanced meal, not being able to give them the opportunity to go to sports/dance camps and swimming lessons, and so forth. Take a minute to think about this: little arms squeezing you tight, kisses, cuddles, a table to eat on, food on that table, security—this is what I get to help provide for other families around the world. By purchasing a Trades of Hope product, you are giving a silenced woman a voice and an opportunity to escape the grip of poverty. We are helping women escape the s*x trade, slums, sweatshops and extreme poverty by selling their fair trade products. This allows them to put a roof over their head, food on the table and send their children to school to end the cycle of poverty. And we all like to buy beautiful unique things for ourselves and for our others, so why not buy things that transform lives. Why not be a part of the change you want to see in the world?
