It has been a while

Some exciting things are percolating here. We have not given up on this kooky-mad idea of helping to empower women through the formation of a social enterprise. While the original idea of opening a sewing shop in Bridgeport, CT has been put on the back burner (for now) we are continuing to push forward with our dream, albeit in another format



And it goes a little something like this...
Just when things began to look a little bleak an opportunity fell into my hands. I was asked to participate in a Women's Empowerment Fellowship Program through the U.S. State Department, UConn and the University for Peace in Costa Rica. Costa Rica! No way! Only one of my favorite spots on the globe! The fellowship process, my counterpart in Costa Rica and the program itself were fantastic and provided me with much food for thought. My "Fellow" in Costa Rica, Natascha Moscoa (HipN'verde)  turned out to be my soul sister and kindred spirit with a shared vision of how we could, working together, change the lives of women in under served-populations. Fast forward - Here we are 6 months later preparing to launch our initiatives and plow ahead. Many things are uncertain, names cannot be named (just yet) but exciting things are in the works and we will be posting and letting out more info as things begin to shape.
