How two phenomenal women are pioneering opportunities for Refugee women: CLOTH

I had so much fun chatting with Oona Mitchell of CLOTH on our show today.  Oona Mitchell and her business partner, Candance, best friends for almost ten years, decided they wanted to take more of an involved approach in their passion for fashion (no pun intended) by providing employment opportunities for refugee women who are in the midst of their resettling process in the US.  Oona and Candance's story is really compelling in that their empathy for these refugee women is providing groundbreaking opportunities for women to not only empower themselves, but to be able to sustain a source of income, stability and well being knowing that they have a chance to be able to take care of their families.  No matter who we are and which part of the world we find ourselves, we all want to be able to take care of our loved ones...take a look at our radio show below Empowering Refugee Women
