Raven and Lily - Empowering Women Through Design.
Hey everyone at Get Your Good On!
First, I would like to thank you for creating such a great place for us to go to and let the world know that we are never to young to help the earth!
Second, I would love to let you know about a organization called "Raven and Lily - Empowering Women Through Design." My cousin, Kirsten Dickerson, and her friend, Sophia Hirokawa Lin, are the founders of this organization. They go visit villages around the world that don't have what we do. They raise money to buy sewing machines then they will go and teach women in these villages to sew clothing, pillows, and really anything. They also teach these women how to make jewelry! Once the women know how to do all of this they can sell all of their creations and make their own money! I bought a beautiful bracelet and my mom bought the gorgeous earrings! Whatever you buy goes straight to the organization to raise money to help more women! Here is the website,

xoxo - Jordan

This is awesome Jordan. I run a micro-grant program for women in the USA and am always on the lookout for other organizations that support women. I will see if there is a way we can collaborate and empower more women around the world!
