On Monday night, we had the honor of being in the esteemed company of Emily Dubner, CEO of Baking for Good, Viktoria Harrison, Director of Design & Branding for charity : water, and Mickey Duzyj, an A-list magazine and book illustrator, on stage at The Tank in NYC! She’s the First Founder/President Tammy Tibbetts spoke at the first salon hosted by Shatterbox, the website that you may remember for giving us their first “Make Your Mark” Award! Their mission is simple and selfless: “Shatterbox wants you to wake up in the morning and love what you do. So we’re going to introduce you to lots of people who do and help you find how to get there yourself.”

How do they do it? By capturing the stories of cool dreamer/doers in high-quality video vignettes. They’ll be filming one about us upon our return from Peru in late August!

We met so many curious, ambitious people in the audience at the salon, including one fella Jim Altieri, who email introduced us to his friend Josh, who’s about to go to Nablus in the West Bank to work with girls and help them tell their stories! This is his web site and we will now be meeting up with him to learn more. Stay tuned! Never underestimate the power of networking events and random encounters to educate and change the world. :)

Thank you again to Shatterbox co-founders, Amanda and Megan!
