The salons owner, Victoria Michael, also runs a non-profit called Eunoia Collective. It brings women together to build their businesses and a stronger community by giving back. So she teamed up with Natasha Nascimento, the founder of Redefining Refuge, to sell artwork from local artists. Money from those sales went to help Redefining Refuge in its mission.Ryan spoke to Nascimento about the nonprofit, and she told her that right now, they have over 100 children in their caseload just in Hillsborough County.This is a problem that impacts our neighborhood. It's happening in your backyard. These are not children that are coming from other countries. These are children that were born and raised right here in your community. They could be in your school. In plain sight, typically they are hidden in plain sight, and so again I would just caution, you know, a lot of people have that intuition. There's like a moment that stays with you. It's kind of jarring. If you feel that way, call it in. Worst case scenario, you're wrong. OK. Best case scenario: a child's life, and so truly again it takes all of us, said Nascimento.You can learn more about Redefining Refuge here.
