My mother taught me the value of hard work. My daughter taught me the value of good style. Jesus gave me amazing grace and a heart for women and the poor. To me, Noonday is the perfect company to bring all of those aspects of myself together. Small, everyday activities can make a huge difference in the lives of many.
