  <title>EP 65: Blythe Hill, CEO of Dressember</title>
  <description>To many people, a dress symbolizes things like fragility, weakness, inequality, outdated dress code rules, societal pressures, gender roles… There was a time when a woman would be literally scoffed at for wearing anything OTHER than a dress. And for centuries, women have fought to press on and buck trends and fight stereotypes, and obviously a woman wearing pants or wearing shorts isn’t thought of as anything crazy or remarkable today… but could a woman wearing a dress actually change the world? Could the “dress” be reclaimed into a symbol of power and freedom and purpose? We think so…&amp;amp;nbsp; My guest this week is Blythe Hill, the founder of DRESSEMBER, an international movement of women and men who are raising money to fight to end human trafficking. I wanted to hear Blythe’s story and learn about how she got this incredibly amazing movement started and I LOVED our conversation! I am actually participating in Dressember this year and I am pledging to wear a dress every day during the month of December… Yes, even if it is freezing out. I would be so honored and grateful if you’d consider donating to my Dressember fundraiser! My goal is $6,300 and that would fund the rescue operation of one woman, man, or child who is trapped in the bondage of modern day slavery. Your&amp;amp;nbsp;donation is 100% tax deductible and you can donate HERE. I hope you love this episode as much as I do! ABOUT BLYTHE:&amp;amp;nbsp; Blythe Hill is the CEO and Founder of the Dressember Foundation, an anti-trafficking nonprofit organization that engages women and men in the fight to end modern-day&amp;amp;nbsp;slavery. Through their annual campaign, thousands of people across six continents commit to wearing dresses or bow ties for the month of December as a way to bring awareness and raise funding for anti-trafficking work.&amp;amp;nbsp;In four years, Dressember advocates have raised over $3MM USD. Originally hailing from Seattle, Blythe now lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their puppy, Friday. She loves a good red wine, a good cheese, and a good pun.&amp;amp;nbsp; CONNECT WITH BLYTHE AND DRESSEMBER:  https://dressember.org http://www.facebook.com/officialdressember http://instagram.com/dressember https://twitter.com/Dressember https://www.pinterest.com/dressember/ https://www.instagram.com/blythehill/  TODAY'S BUSINESS WITH PURPOSE PODCAST EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY:  CAUSEBOX - use code &amp;quot;MOLLY&amp;quot; for $15 off your first box!
