Personal background highlights: Our family and church provided shelter and resources for victims of exploitation.

What I like most about doing business here: Providing inexpensive bridal wear to justice-conscious shoppers while providing for the needs of survivors.

Changes I’d like to see in this area: Prevention of trafficking among youth is a major focus of Adorned in Grace.
