Blythe and Andre talk about what it looked like to take an unlikely action to bring awareness and change to anti-human trafficking efforts.
Blythe Hill is the CEO and Founder of the Dressember Foundation, an anti-trafficking nonprofit organization. Through their annual campaign, thousands of people across the world commit to wearing dresses or ties for the month of December as a way to raise awareness and funding for anti-trafficking work. Since 2013, Dressember advocates have raised $13MM USD and resourced dozens of anti-trafficking programs across the US and the world. Dressember has received press attention from the likes of Forbes, Glamour, InStyle, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, the TODAY Show, among others. In 2019, Blythe was named one of InStyle's 50 Badass Women, alongside powerhouse ladies like Michelle Obama, Christine Blasey Ford, Angela Davis, and Gayle King.
Blythe currently lives in Seattle with her husband, son, and their dog, Friday. She loves a good red wine, a good cheese and, clearly, a good pun.
