event why it's so important for you I
know you've been doing so much work
behind the scenes to make it happen oh
thanks for having us on we're really
excited that's the first event of its
kind of happened in the region these
type of things do happen in other big
metropolitan cities where there's a huge
influence or gathering in community but
we've been gathering our community for
the past year and we have over a hundred
and fifty influencers on our list now
with nearly two million combined
followers so we're really excited about
where communities at and we're always
looking for ways to give back as well so
all of our fashion influencers they have
a lot of excess they basically wear
something new every day and they take a
picture of it and then they put it up
calls it sometimes they give it to their
friends and they still have extra so
this is an opportunity for them to sell
have very deep discounts to meet some of
the followers that really are making
them you know very successful in what
they do online and and people in the
public gets a benefit for it for it and
then we get to give back and help change
lives by some of the proceeds going to
rethreaded
yes so we're talking about people with
some internet fame here usually on
Instagram but sometimes Facebook or
Twitter whatever that is and they're
able to bring people to Jacksonville
they're able to most importantly support
great local charities they can use their
hundreds of thousands of followers to
bring that awareness for charities like
rethreaded kristen we've had you guys on
the show so many times you do great
things really quickly for those who
aren't so aware what is it that makes
you all so special that we believe that
through community and new work women can
have a new life

trafficking and surround them with
services and love and give them space to
be who they're created to be so they are
