Community members Lisa, Nomi Network‟s Director of External Relations, and Alissa, Nomi Network‟s Vice President, have been deeply immersed in raising the visibility and sustainability of their non-profit social enterprise this year. Founded in 2009, Nomi Network‟s mission is to create job opportunities and access the marketplace for women who are survivors or at-risk of human trafficking. Working through various partnerships in South East Asia, Nomi Network emphasizes product development and distribution for products made via clean supply chains and by these women.

Their Buy Her Bag Not Her Body®collection of handbags is a prime example of how they also use these products to raise awareness about human trafficking, and specifically sex trafficking. They will be at the Union Square Holiday Market (Nov 19-Dec 24) if you‟re in NYC and would like to come say hello. Lisa and Alissa say, "We want to thank our Radical Living family members, as well as all of you, for your constant support of our vision and our passion to see faith and justice lived out at home and around the world!". www.nominetwork.org; www.buyherbagnothe rbody.com
About Us… Radical Living is a Christ-centered co-housing community located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. We are a multicultural, intergenerational, and ecumenical community of artists, workers, and students that includes singles and families. There are many households associated with Radical Living. They are located within a one-block radius of each other and function as one community with a couple dozen members. In essence we are dedicated to a meditative, prophetic and prayerful life, centered in Christ, engaged in our neighborhood, concerned with social justice, and led by the Holy Spirit.
