Many of the wonderful individuals, companies, and organizations I am meeting through The Compassion Fashion Project are serendipitous and my meeting with Prosper Miller is no exception. When I read her story, featured here, I was drawn to her ability to take a tormented past and turn it into a way to grow and inspire others. Prosper is a survivor of domestic violence who has not only overcome tragedy, but has become quite a successful business woman and most recently a fashion designer/entrepreneur. Her new clothing line is called Prosper Couture and will be set up as a direct-selling business, affording any woman anywhere to become a member of her team and start their own fashion business. Her philanthropic efforts are multi-layered and I would advise anyone living in Atlanta, GA or beyond to contact Propser to become a sponsor or volunteer. I had the chance to speak with Prosper via a phone chat and subsequently interviewed her for this week's challenge. Without further ado, here is Prosper in her own words.
