Hey Sistas,   Today's guest is Shelley Jones!   Shelley Jones is the founder of dignify, an online boutique that sells handmade blankets that are made by women who are survivors of exploitation in Bangladesh. She is a wife, a mom, and a creative who is using what she has to work out shalom in her business, in the way she shops, and in the [online] world.   Today we talk about: How she kinda tumbled into founding a fair trade company How she loves to connect the stories of the women who shop Dignify to the women who make the blankets How she LOVES, LOVES, LOVES Father Greg Boyle from Homeboy Industries  How she uses what she has in her hands right now to be a peacemaker.   Shelley gave us a code for free shipping when we visit her site: https://www.shopdignify.com/pages/about-dignify Use the code: SHALOM  through Nov. 26th for free shipping   Our Shalom Steps are: 1: Slow Down/ Calm Down 2: Make a List and start small 3: Shop Fair trade for women who cannot afford it for themselves   Shelley is a compelling and fun writer.
