Homeless in Plain Sight

What do you think of when asked to describe a homeless person? Most would paint a picture of an adult standing on a corner with a cardboard sign, usually by a highway exit ramp. Let me describe another version that may have been hiding right in front of you, maybe even in your own home. Learn the questions you and your child should ask to spot child abuse. Identify behaviors and how to help other children that frequently visit your home. Growing up as a homeless kid, trust that it’s not the behaviors that you would expect.

Easing Shopping Guilt Through Art & Eden's Feel-Good Platform

Last week I had the honor to visit the Art & Eden showroom in midtown and chat with its founder and CEO Susan Correa. Correa is the epitome of a girl boss. The fashion veteran's journey includes leading multi-million-dollar apparel operations around the world, co-founding contemporary brand Cooper + Ella and managing a global sourcing company for brands in Europe, the United States and Canada. Her new project, Art & Eden, is her latest cherished creation. The children's clothing brand exudes her passion for fashionably outfitting kids while feeding the less fortunate. When she speaks of helping children in need with her brand, Susan's eyes light up and become imbued with life. "Helping children is something I always wanted to do," she declares.
