Social Entrepreneurs Find Fierce Advocate in TheNewUSWoman.com

The New US Woman has relaunched in 2010 with a stronger focus on entrepreneurs who have a passion for activism and philanthropy.

I am trying to level the playing field for new start-ups, but I want them to link their business to a cause higher than mammon. The pure capitalist model benefits those that cut corners, lay off employees, and hoard to improve shareholder value. That's not an equitable model for a global village.

I believe that giving at the local level is essential, which is why I personally give at local food banks and women's shelters in TN; I tutor for literacy and serve food through Room at the Inn, in addition to giving internationally through  Beyond Borders which keeps young Haitian girls out of servitude as "restaveks" and in school. I have also supported Compassion International for 5+ years.

All of us can do our part to make this world a better place and we can use our business as the vehicle for change 365 days a year, not just when a tragedy strikes.

Sincerely,
Rosanne Ferreri-Feske
