MY HISTORY and BIG VISION

I'm open to travel for in person workshops and even relocating to open training centers in collaboration with others.   

I have plans for a 'Community Cottage Craft Collective'.  It's the evolution of the ‘Village to Village’ movement I started in Africa  in 1984, called Inspirit Arts.

I left my birthplace in Michigan to spend 18 years in Africa and Europe. Inspired by a vision to help eradicate poverty, I left University in France to start the Inspirit Arts cottage craft industry in Africa. This social enterprise raised funds for children’s causes in Kenya and Eswatini by making, and training volunteers of women’s organizations to be vendors.

My greatest gift to the world so far, was starting the now thriving rolled paper movement by going from village to village, in one African country after another, to teach destitute villagers in drought stricken areas how to upcycle paper into jewelry. 

Returning stateside to Ohio in 1995, I ran after school youth programs, while studying full time, and traveling the world to source handmade fashion to sell in my pop-up vendor booth. 

I've retired from vending to devote myself towards building 'The Vendor Academy' and 'The Village eStore' on this platform. They're full of products, courses and resources specifically for organizations to use in support of pop-up event vendors.

Please opt-in below to take a closer look at the special programs,  licensing and/or joining at discounted group rates.  Terms and conditions apply to protect all the intellectual property you are about to access.

#2: The Village eStore gives vendors access to highly profitable fair trade handmade fashion accessories in wholesale packages that are imported from crafters living in remote villages worldwide. What the poorest people in the world need most is customers. Shop Here

#1: Heart Healing Headwrap-preneurs Program for Women is an opportunity to continue the product line to an existing customer base for the handwoven headwraps, hats and headbands that I started vending in Ohio over 20 years ago. 

‘The Headwrap Vendor Method’ is a multi-cultural humanitarian project with the heart of healing the racial divide.

It involves selling, and also giving away free headwraps to comfort people suffering from chronic illness and hair loss in the community.

Shop, Sell, Serve Here

#2: Inspirit Arts Youth & Family Social Enterprise is the revival of the same cottage craft industry I developed in Africa for nine years. 

By upcycling free and inexpensive raw materials into highly profitable and marketable fashion products, youth members and their families will confidently follow a tried and tested business model for certain success. 

The vision is that graduates travel to duplicate this social enterprise worldwide.

Organizations that sign-up for group rates can request support in raising funds for their network to participate.
