By working with Same Sky they are able to provide for themselves, their families, and their communities. As for our women artisans in Jersey City, they are ex-convicts that have been released from the Hudson County Jail. At the life center they are reintroduced into the workplace, able to create a resume, build self-esteem, and feel empowered. We believe that talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn't.
