10 Fatim Bahh - Look Good, Feel Good, Do Good, Spread Joy

So you've bought some clothes for your wardrobe and you really love how they look on you. But have you ever wondered if the money you paid for them is doing good, as well?

Fatim Bahh was born in West Africa to a family of textile makers, and has been combining entrepreneurship in design with social responsibility for over ten years. Through her clothing line, Fatim has been able to donate 10% of her earnings to her nonprofit One Girl At A Time, which empowers young women in Africa to receive an education and develop employable skills by covering costs of tuition and resources.

Fatim will be talking about making meaningful change in the world through socially-and-globally-conscious companies, and how we can spread joy and create a difference with our purchases. We will also cover the importance of financial independence and education for young women in developing countries, and having resilience in achieving our goals. I am so glad to help spread the exciting and powerful story of Fatim Bahh with you today!
