Most of the media often paints all businesses with a single stroke, but in our experience businesses are each unique and so many of them are focused on making the world a better place. We’ve highlighted a few such gems below.

Amber Lee | Co-Founder of Select Date Society

I co-founded Select Date Society after surviving a sudden cardiac arrest. In 2020, my heart suddenly stopped while I was driving. I lost consciousness and drove into a brick home. Thankfully, no one else was injured in the accident. My husband pulled me from the smoking vehicle and a good Samaritan started CPR. First responders arrived within minutes and used a defibrillator to restart my heart. That incident was the catalyst to Sandra Myers and I starting our business. We realized that life was too short to put off our dreams! From the very beginning, we committed to giving a percentage of our company’s profits to the American Heart Association. Read more>>

Nova Liz | Concept Photographer

I like to consider myself a concept photographer. The concepts behind my work are created 100% authentically from things I have experienced- typically on the darker side of things. I use photography to express mental health struggles I’ve experienced, such as: bipolar disorder, dissociation, eating disorders, abuse, and more. Though it can be a little scary to share such vulnerable, dark work, it is instantly rewarding when someone reaches out to me and says my work resonated with them. It’s so easy to think you’re alone in your struggles when everyone on social media seems so happy, but what people don’t realize is a lot of it is fake, or very staged/edited. Read more>>
