In this episode, Megan will share with us her advice on how to build a business in East Africa while living in Hawaii, raising a daughter while her husband is deployed as a submariner all the while continuing to flourish as an entrepreneur and renovating her home at the same time. She has inspiring thoughts and ideas on how hope, process and consistency helped make two-intercontinental moves in mere months, not only possible but achievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/hope-motivates-action\/embed\/episodes\/S02--07---Hope-in-East-Africa-with-Megan-Kitt-efo5jl\" height=\"102px\" width=\"400px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Megan Kitt is the founder of Tuli, a fashion brand that fights poverty by creating sustainable jobs in East Africa by selling handmade, fair trade jewelry. Tuli has empowered artisans to feed their families, educate their children, and rise out of poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Megan got her start in journalism, and her work took her across the United States, into Asia, and finally, to Africa where she met Tuli\u2019s first artisans outside of Kampala and worked with them to develop a small line of products that would become Tuli. The company has since expanded into Nairobi as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Megan was uniquely poised to launch a fashion brand: She got her start modeling as a teenager to save money for college. Through her work as a model, Megan learned enough about the fashion industry to catapult Tuli to success, all while fighting some of the darker sides of the fashion industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tools, Tips and Resources from today&#8217;s show<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay Recknell | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/\">Expert in Hope<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/expertinhope\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lindsay-recknell\/\">LinkedIn<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lindsayrecknell\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Megan Kitt |<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wishahmon.com\">Tuli<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tulistore\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tulistyle\/?hl=en\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/shop\/\">Take Hope Home!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to this and all episodes of the Hope Motivates Action podcast wherever you listen to your favourite content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-1 wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"262\" src=\"http:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/apple-podcast-logo-1024x262.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3883\" class=\"wp-image-3883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/apple-podcast-logo-1024x262.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/apple-podcast-logo-600x154.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/apple-podcast-logo-300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/apple-podcast-logo-768x197.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/apple-podcast-logo-100x26.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/apple-podcast-logo-862x221.jpg 862w, https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/apple-podcast-logo-1100x282.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/ca\/podcast\/hope-motivates-action\/id1479920913\">https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/ca\/podcast\/hope-motivates-action\/id1479920913<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"997\" height=\"253\" src=\"http:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Listen-on-Spotify-1.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3887\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/?attachment_id=3887\" class=\"wp-image-3887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Listen-on-Spotify-1.png 997w, https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Listen-on-Spotify-1-600x152.png 600w, https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Listen-on-Spotify-1-300x76.png 300w, https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Listen-on-Spotify-1-768x195.png 768w, https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Listen-on-Spotify-1-100x25.png 100w, https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Listen-on-Spotify-1-862x219.png 862w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/3CRFYiCjKbMY3Ese1IgrTK\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/3CRFYiCjKbMY3Ese1IgrTK<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"162\" src=\"http:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Listen-on-Google-2.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3888\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/?attachment_id=3888\" class=\"wp-image-3888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Listen-on-Google-2.png 640w, https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Listen-on-Google-2-600x152.png 600w, https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Listen-on-Google-2-300x76.png 300w, https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Listen-on-Google-2-100x25.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9yc3Muc2ltcGxlY2FzdC5jb20vcG9kY2FzdHMvMTA5MzQvcnNz\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9yc3Muc2ltcGxlY2FzdC5jb20vcG9kY2FzdHMvMTA5MzQvcnNz<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s episode of the Hope Motivates Action podcast, I\u2019m super excited to introduce you to Megan Kitt, ex-journalist turned founder of a fashion-focused social enterprise called Tuli, military wife and mother of a one year-old daughter.
