Conquering poverty and abuse

We work with women recovering from abuse on the Rosebud Reservation, located in one of the poorest counties in the U.S. The number one reason women return to their abusers is financial dependence. By Grace is helping women become self-sufficient so they can rise above abuse and poverty.

Maybe the danger isn’t that we dream too small, maybe, it’s that we dream too big. . Because when we lens into focus what’s sitting in front of us (an Instagram account that doesn’t look how we want it to, or an office that’s just a spare room, a portfolio that’s so far from perfect), we throw it all away and leave it behind, embarrassed at our lofty dreams and ambitious visions. . The Japanese have a philosophy in business called “Kaizen,” and some attribute it to the reason for Toyota’s multi-million dollar success. Its mantra is this – “Get 1% better each day.” . Entrepreneurs are visionaries and pioneers. But what do you do when that grand vision doesn’t look like what is in your hands? Do you give up and walk away, or do you stick with it, and find a way to be 1% - not 50% or 25% or even 2% (overachievers 🙋🏼‍♀️ – listen up) – just 1% better than yesterday. . What if we accepted the small as a start, and just that – a start. What’s in our hand now is not our finish line, it’s merely a simple beginning. Good or bad, epic failure or wild success, it’s a start. And give yourself a huge pat on the back (maybe a hug too) - because having the courage to start is an achievement in itself. . Don’t give up. . . . . #entrepreneur #startsmall #startup

In Ghana, becoming a seamstress is a highly esteemed profession, but it is only available to women with capital. By Grace sponsors the education fees and a sewing machine so that underprivileged women have the opportunity to make an income.
