What a treat! We are so excited to kick off our focus on Fair Trade with “The Oprah of Fair Trade” (Johnna’s words, not Karen’s!) Karen Gibbs. Karen leads ByHand Consulting, a firm of talented advocates that empower and advise artisan groups around the globe.

Grab a cup of coffee, your favorite pen and notebook, and dive into this conversation as Karen explains the differences between fair trade and Fair Trade, gives us tips for shifting our purchasing tendencies to fair trade, and shares more about how when we use our purchasing power for GOOD, peoples’ lives are changed.
