Quotes:

• We talk about how for us saying that we're all sustainable and ethically made, unfortunately that's an an anomaly, you know we would love get to the point one day when this isn’t a feature or nice to have and that us saying "we verified that all of this people that made this product are paid for a wages", that should be just a standard, We shouldn't have to make this a big deal that We are making sure that this happen. Alora May

  Being sustainable also means being sustainable to us. So, if It’s not gonna work for you, it's not sustainable. So, you really need to look at your habit and look what you already have. Debbie vanGrieken

  So these women that are starting these companies that are helping communities and empowering people around the world are doing it all out of pocket. They're reinvesting all these funds back into their companies and helping on other people. So when you support a woman owned company, you are directly supporting their dreams supporting all the good that they're doing within the world- Alora May
