Mercado Global Role Models

 

Two of our nineteen Mercado Global Role Models.  Following the benefit event this Thursday at the Napa Valley Museum, I will post the entire set of photographs with more information. 

Role Model Initiative Statement

The Mercado Global Role Models initiative highlights the power of women to affect positive change in their communities and at a global level as leaders, consumers and business professionals.

The Role Model photo sessions will feature the artisans’ new collections with strong, successful women leaders as models.  The women we select to model our partner artisans’ pieces have played an instrumental role in socially responsible consumerism initiatives or have positively impacted their communities through social action.

Mercado Global

Mercado Global is a Fair Trade nonprofit that uses markets to empower indigenous women artisans in rural Guatemala to break the cycle of poverty and become agents of change in their own communities.
