(link in bio) #glassart #glassblowing #womenwhomake #artistsofinstagram #workshopwednesday “I create with my hands for inner balance, forming a visual language of artifacts of communication. My work is a direct expression of my present state of being, and an index of a lifetime of work. The evolution of my work is intrinsic upon me – captured one moment, one movement, at a time." -Glass Artist Ona Magaro, who lives and works in Livingston, Montana #makermonday #womenwhomake #glassart #glassblowing #MontanaWoman This is a past iteration of the coat created by Veronika Scott for The Empowerment Plan, a nonprofit that helps the homeless by providing them with jobs and something warm to wear. The latest version of the EMPWR coat is a water-resistant jacket, which can transform into a sleeping bag, or be worn as an over-the-shoulder bag when not in use. The coat is constructed of durable, water resistant Cordura fabric from Carhartt, upcycled automotive insulation from General Motors, and other materials provided by generous donors. #womenwhodogood #loveyourneighbor #helpthehomeless #TheEmpowermentPlan #empowerment The Empowerment Plan, an nonprofit organization founded by Veronika Scott in Detroit, makes coats that convert to sleeping bags for homeless people across the US and Canada. They have employed 43 previously homeless individuals and have made and distributed over 20,000 coats since 2012. It costs $100 to complete one coat. See how you can donate, no matter how much you have to give. Link in bio. #Detroit #givingback #womenempoweringwomen #dogood “I think women have a really difficult time understanding how valuable they are. The idea of self-worth is very important to me because I grew up as a kid of addicts, and we were kind of set up for failure. We were set up in a hole to get out of. I ended up getting a great scholarship to go to college and a class ended up changing my entire life. The class assignment was to design something to fill actual needs. I did my research at homeless shelters. So the first project I created was the coat. The coat looks like a regular jacket during the day, but when you open it up, you can actually slide your feet in all the way up to your knees and velcro it closed again to make a sleeping bag. We hire only individuals from homeless shelters and then we train them in everything from sewing and manufacturing to employment as well as tech, and whatever they need to become more independent and to be proud of their accomplishments and be proud of themselves.” —Veronika Scott, Found and CEO of @theempowermentplan, pictured with the inspiring seamstress, Teia #empowering #inspiring #rebuilddetroit #givingback #TheEmpowermentPlan #womenareamazing #Detroit "Winning isn't always my absolute top priority. I mean, don't get me wrong, going rounds is really awesome and sure it's fun to win. But the most important thing is having a good time and enjoying yourself. It's a small escape from the reality of life." -Driver Molly Straight #dragracing #womemwhorace #womenareawesome #womeninthegarage #gearhead
