Girlfriend – Do you need to learn to say NO? So many of us do.

Thankfully we’ve got some great girlfriend advice from our BlogTalkRadio guest for this week (Friday, August 12th, 2-2:30pm ET). Meet MOLLY CANTELL-KRAIG. Molly isn’t a girl to say NO when it comes to helping other women but she recognizes that we, as women, need to say NO sometimes. Here’s her wise girlfriend advice (and listen in on Friday for more women’s wisdom from Molly!)

Inspirational Girlfriend – JENNIFER DAVIS, Director of Beaded Hope

May 10, 2008 – 7:20 pm

“You don’t have to be Bono or Oprah to make a big change in the world.” Jennifer Davis

Jennifer Davis is a mom, wife, beader and girlfriend. She also (INHO!) is an “Oprah” or “Bono.”

A few years ago she decided she need to do more, she wanted to make the world a better place for her children and others. She started BEADED HOPE as a non-profit organization to employ women in AIDS-rampaged South Africa to create beautiful beaded jewelry, accessories, ornaments and home decor. Through trips and calls to South Africa and in working together she developed friendships with the women who had no other opportunities to earn money to feed their families. And, she has built the business of Beaded Hope to return the profits to support medical supplies in South African.

I had the privilege of interviewing Jennifer recently and discussing Beaded Hope with her at Red Tree Gallery (in Cincinnati). Watch the video to see the beautiful person who is making a difference in this world as well as the beautiful beaded items created by Beaded Hope ‘girlfriends’ in South Africa.

And, as a bonus for Girlfriendology, Jennifer is offering at 15% discount on Beaded Hope items until June 1. Just enter the promotional code: “GOGIRL” Thanks Jennifer! (Oprah would be proud of you!)
