Focus On Something Bigger Than Yourself

On my recent trip to Colombia, visiting the Wayuu communities that we work with with One Thread Collective, I realized that my purpose here in this life is actually to stop exploitation. I work with over a hundred women in La Guajira, Colombia, weavers who make beautiful bags. Our job at One Thread Collective is to help women reclaim their power and step back into their identity as weavers, and to earn a fair wage selling their beautiful works of art. We do that by giving women income every single month and basically cutting out the middleman and connecting rural artisans that live in communities that are hours away from the city, connecting them to people in the US and abroad who are interested in paying a fair living wage. So living in my purpose actually has a generational impact that will live on.
