“There's a lot more good in this world than there is bad,” says Jordana and asks people to focus on the positive. In part 2, Jordana Guimaraes, Co-Founder of Fashinnovation, continues talking about how communication can help you in your business and personal life.


Jordana’s new book “It Can Be You: Humanizing Homelessness” strives to humanize homelessness by telling stories about how people became homeless.
