Did you know that every purchase you make is a vote? A vote for how you want the world to be, for the values you stand for, and for the people you want to support. 🌍✨ Today, I want to introduce you to something close to my heart—my sister's incredible business, Global Hues Market, and how it’s not only bringing beautiful artisan-made products to the world but also fighting modern-day slavery and supporting ethical craftsmanship.
Meet Global Hues Market: Beautiful Products, Big Purpose
My sister started Global Hues Market from the ground up. What began as a small vision quickly grew into a global movement for change. At Global Hues, you’ll find an eclectic mix of beautiful, ethically sourced products—from soaps, scrubs, and teas to handbags, jewelry, scarves, and home decor. Every item is handmade by artisans from all over the world, each one telling a unique story of culture, creativity, and care.
But here's the thing: Global Hues is more than just a store with Instagrammable products (though, let's be honest, they are stunning ). It’s a movement that’s reshaping the way we think about consumerism and our power as buyers..
Fair Trade Shopping: Beyond the Surface
We’ve all heard of ethical fashion or fair trade, but have you ever considered where your purchases are really coming from? The unfortunate reality is that many everyday products we buy—from your coffee to your chocolate bar—may have been made in unethical conditions. These can include things like child labor, forced labor, and even indentured servitude.
Hard to believe? It was for me too. I used to think there was no way I could be contributing to such horrors. But after educating myself on the extent of modern-day slavery and how deeply it’s embedded in our supply chains, my perspective changed completely. Slavery is real—and it still exists in 2023. But it looks different than we imagine. It’s in the things we buy without thinking.

I know this is a tough truth to swallow, but I believe the first step toward change is awareness. If you want to get an eye-opening glimpse into how your own purchases might contribute to modern-day slavery, I highly recommend checking out the Slavery Footprint Quiz.
