This is a replay of our conversation with Amy Peterson.
Meet Amy Peterson, a trailblazer driven by a deep passion that inspires. She keeps a box of rejection letters as a reminder of her determination to succeed and has created a company dedicated to empowering women. Rebel Nell is not just a business; it exists to provide equitable employment opportunities and support for women facing barriers to employment.
Through Rebel Nell, women are encouraged to tap into their infinite strength and create wearable art from repurposed materials. With over 40 graduates and 9+ years of impact, Rebel Nell continues to grow in strength and reach. But the true impact, according to Amy, is yet to be seen and will be appreciated by future generations.
In addition to Rebel Nell, Amy's nonprofit arm, T.E.A. (Teach. Empower. Achieve.), provides women with the resources they need to achieve financial stability, including housing, education, and legal aid. But Amy's mission is more profound than just making a profit. She is in the people business and wants to teach women about sustainability for their own lives, lift them out of poverty, and help them achieve long-term success.
Explore Rebel Nell's stunning jewelry, and you'll discover the true beauty lies in the stories they tell, the resilience of the artists behind the pieces, and the ripple effect of Amy's purposeful life. Listen to Amy speak, and you'll hear the fear of failure not for herself but for everyone who believes in the mission. Join the Rebel Nell movement and become part of the story worth sharing.
