DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Global Girlfriends: An Evening with Stacey Edgar=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/441416259=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2011-10-19=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2011-10-19=0D=0A=0D=0AIn 2003 Global Girlfriend founder Stacey Edgar had a $2,000 tax return and a deep desire to help provide economic security for women in need. She knew that of the 1.3 billion people living on less than $1 per day, seventy percent are women. What she didn't have was a business plan. Or a passport. But that didn't stop her from creating a socially conscious business that has helped poor women in five continents feed their families and send their children to school. Global Girlfriend has since grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise that specializes in handmade, fairly traded, eco-conscious apparel, accessories, and items made by women all over the world. Global Girlfriends is Stacey's inspiring story of following her convictions, as well as her passionate argument for simple actions we can all take to eliminate extreme poverty. Stacey Edgar refused to be paralyzed by the size of world poverty; she started by taking several small steps, personal responsibility firmly in hand, and never looked back.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:7:00-8:30pm
