Fashion With A Purpose Raven & Lily

If you follow me on any of The Modern Day Girlfriend social media outlets like @moderndaygf’s Instagram you can see that one of the things I am very passionate about is charity and giving back. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always tried to make sure that no matter how small or big my effort was to always try and give back. From feeding the homeless on holidays with my family to raising enough money to rebuild a town in Sudan, I have always known that giving back to those less fortunate was something I would continuously do as I grew older. It gave me and gives me a great sense of gratitude that I probably would not have otherwise. I’m very thankful that my parent’s who instilled in us at a very young age about the importance of giving back.

I feel very blessed that with The Modern Day Girlfriend, I am able to help bring awareness to charities, brands, individuals and so on that have the same charitable aspect of their voice and or brand.

That’s why this week I am highlighting Raven & Lily, “an ethical fashion and lifestyle brand that is dedicated to empowering women through design.”

Raven & Lily is able to provide access to a safe job, sustainable income, health care, education, and a real chance to break the cycle of poverty for themselves and their families. ” In countries like Cambodia, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Kenya, India, Guatemala, USA, and Malaysia.
