  excited to be here, and I'll tell you why. First of all,
• 0:10
  here is Don Cristos. Now I just met Ash. What's your home name?
• 0:16
  All right? The good news here is that Ash as a friend of
• 0:21
  my buddy Karl Haggerty. And I met at a executive gathering and I'm so
• 0:31
  thrilled that we had a chance to talk there. And then I learned about
• 0:34
  some sustainable artwork that she's involved with. She's a do gooder. She's helped
• 0:39
  hospitals with cancer and I'm crazy about her, and we're going to learn about
• 0:46
  her business. Here. I see something called Green Fad Museum. All right,
• 0:51
  I don't know what that means, but I'm going to find out.
• 0:54
  Ash. Hi, how are you? Hi? Good? So tell me
• 0:57
  tell me about this business that you're involved with and the good that you're doing
• 1:03
  well. First time, the list is that green fab means green Fashion,
• 1:07
  Art and Design, and it started out as a little pop up art project
• 1:12
  to accompany events as a traveling experience and also a virtual experience that could illustrate
• 1:23
  concepts of sustainability via art and design. And these are some samples of some
• 1:30
  of the world that has been done and produced by who, by various artists
• 1:36
  on the team, my sister and I, who were the first two.
• 1:40
  We actually loaned out much of our art because we wanted to give back to
• 1:45
  communities and we wanted to display and exhibit multicultural art and also art that supports
• 1:53
  the environment and also people of various world cultures. Ah, why would you
• 2:00
  say multicultural? Multicultural biggest people in the world. We are of different cultures
• 2:07
  and it's nice for us to have a platform or more platforms to exchange culture
• 2:14
  and to teach and educate. Alrighty, so what culture are we talking?
• 2:17
  So what's your what's your ancestry? I'm actually originally from Guyana. Guyana is
• 2:23
  a country of primarily six ethnic cultural backgrounds. I mean it has changed over
• 2:29
  time to have more hybrids, but it's considered a small microposa multiculturalism in South
• 2:37
  America. And because of that experience growing up, I was exposed to different
• 2:42
  cultural backgrounds. You know, people from China, from India, Africa,
• 2:46
  indigenous people's, European and just so many different people who came to visit the
• 2:53
  country from different parts of the world. So can people purchase these items,
• 2:58
  you have a website or that's I'm here on this QR code. Yes,
• 3:02
  it's actually here, okay, And it's ww dot Green fed Dot Shop,
• 3:07
  which is our crop Up Museum site, and then where the bar codes are
• 3:13
  you can actually click on shop. We are revamping the site to make it
• 3:17
  a little bit more easy to use with apps, but it does have an
• 3:23
  app function. And one of our popular projects is also I'm of the Sari,
• 3:28
  which is a South Asian cultural project that has become a little popular in
• 3:32
  the community. For example, we have these t sets which actually have cultural
• 3:40
  art and it's the log yes, and they're one of kind pieces. So
• 3:46
  if you're a person who likes to have exclusive art to talk about with your
• 3:52
  friends and you don't want it to be on the wall, you can actually
• 3:55
  custom designing a piece that no one else will have in a world you know,
• 4:01
  and you can brag about it and it doesn't have to be in a
• 4:03
  wall anymore. Now your friends could be tasting and sipping coffee or tea off
• 4:11
  of it. And the great thing is at a percentage of what we are
• 4:14
  doing goes back to charitable love. For example, this cancer awareness are you
• 4:21
  this week crack our own and most if it goes back to projects that we
• 4:26
  can go towards cancer. So we're looking to get more of these to be
• 4:30
  sold to corporations, you know, two employees, whether it's the flask,
• 4:35
  the tea sets, or various custom design products. Because we have over two
• 4:41
  hundred products. Wow, because in design, including your time. Let me
• 4:47
  ask you a question, last question at this moment, because we're going to
• 4:50
  meet again with you, and I know you did something with cancer and did
• 4:54
  something with some hospitals. I mean, this is a good woman. What's
• 4:58
  pace for you? Much makes your life? Piece? What's peace? Do
• 5:01
  you think? Piece? Is oneness? Our projects start with the concept of
• 5:06
  oneness, which is why multiculturalism is important to us here. Most of us
• 5:13
  on the board, our people, I'm financial sector and most of us came
• 5:16
  from foreign countries. And we all have a unit united vision, a oneness
• 5:23
  how a many in peace with each other. And I think that's the message
• 5:29
  that I have. I envision that I have seeing oneness all. Yes,
• 5:36
  you're a fantastic Thanks so much. Thank you the put it and Bo opened
