Kara Ross is a world-renowned and award-winning jewelry designer whose creations have been featured in museums around the country and worn by celebrities and influencers like Kate Hudson, Oprah Winfrey, Anne Hathaway, and Michelle Obama. In 2015, Kara launched DIAMONDS UNLEASHED, a purpose-driven brand whose mission is to inspire women’s self-worth and create educational opportunities for girls. The brand donates 100% of its net profits from the sale of products and sponsorships to organizations that provide educational scholarships for girls. In this episode, Kara shares her illustrious career as a gemologist of over 25 years and how her journey brought various opportunities to give back and make a tangible difference in people's lives. Kara talks to me about the importance of identifying the needs of your own community, starting your journey of service at the grassroots level, and why hope is essential during this period of political divisiveness and civil and racial unrest. In our conversation, Kara and I also talk about how our paths crossed and why we're honored to have Kara as Head of Creative Design at Service First Inc., the company behind this podcast. -- This podcast is brought to you by Service First and produced by Hueman Group Media.

Kathleen  was an Asst. Prosecutor in Hudson County for many years, stopped to raise he three children and was never able to return.

Unlike a typical conference- we will have 2 simultaneous speakers throughout the day- discussing topics that will appeal to all women- from menopause to financial issues to authors to Shark Tank winners- (just to name a few)- with the object of making all women feel welcome and a part of this community - regardless of where they are in life. And with the intention of sharing stories from women who have accomplished what they set out to do and connecting them with women in a similar situation.
