Sharing Retailer Insights with Matr Boomie
I had the great privilege and honor to be featured on the Retailer Scope blog for one of my new favorite Fair Trade companies, Matr Boomie.

What I love about this company is their passion for helping others and their impeccable professionalism in their brand and in their message. This husband and wife team have made it their life mission to improve the quality of life and work standards for hundreds of artisans in their homeland.
