How I got here.
I am an artist, a jewelry and surface pattern designer but, I am also an advocate in the fight against human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
I am so glad you stopped by this page.
This is the most important section on my website. Let me tell you a story about how it all began.
In 2017 I had the privilege of going to Germany to work with an organization called Kianos, a non-profit organization that works around the world fighting the sexual exploitation of women.
On that trip I took a simple rubber bracelet with the word BRAVE written on it and they were given to the women I would meet in the brothels of Germany.
After spending time with the beautiful young women in the brothels I left Germany changed. I knew that I had to do more than what I had done. I started with a simple piece of jewelry, a necklace with 6 small charms. Five of those represented a letter in the word Brave.
B-Beautiful (a pearl)
R-Ransomed (an icthus)
A-Adored (a flower)
V-Victorious (a palm leaf)
E-Empowered (a cross)
The last charm added was a butterfly that represents freedom. I wanted my customers to wear that necklace and know that they were part of changing a young woman's future
A lot has changed since then. I have worn many hats in the past 6 years but my passion for helping fight human trafficking has remained a constant in all of my creative processes.
Every item sold from this website will help with this important work. I am committed to helping in this fight. I hope you will join me. When you buy something from me I will give a portion of my proceeds to Kianos
I hope you will join me in ending the sex trafficking of young women in around the world
Thank you and God bless.
