One Stitch Closer: Veronika empowers other women

we don’t need coats, we need a job

________

Veronika is founder of the empowerment plan:

from their site:

Veronika started the Empowerment Plan as a 20 year old product design student at The College for Creative Studies in Detroit. It started as a class project and became a non-profit organization when she graduated in December 2011. During the creation of the project, she was told over and over again that this organization would never succeed. Not because the person running it had no business experience but that the homeless women she hired would be almost worthless, that she would be lucky to have anyone show up, let alone make a coat. 

“Everyday I enjoy proving all of those people wrong. The homeless women I hire are powerful, driven, and I am privileged to be a part of their lives.”
