Yogi Berra once said, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." Kellee took this quote quite literally marrying her passion for social justice and abundance economics to her consulting firm's skill in business development. The combination united the fork in the road to one mission; to create, cheer on, and nurture conscious consumers and social entrepreneurs. To date, this is how the journey on that road has translated into exciting and tangible results on a personal level for Kellee. 

As a business development coach and consultant, social entrepreneur and social justice activist, Kellee focuses on expanding the Fair Trade Movement and thought leadership on socially responsible business chief among other social-good activities. On average each year since 2003 Kellee leads 24 informal talks, workshops, sermons, and keynote addresses on fair trade and social entrepreneurship.  Also in 2003, Kellee as a member of the Justice Advocates at Manchester United Methodist Church (MUMC), started The Fair Trade Market which has grown to be the largest of its kind.  In 2007 the group launched the Social Justice Speaker Series introducing the St. Louis community to leaders in social justice activism and entrepreneurship. Currently Kellee and the Justice Advocates are exploring the possible creation of a School for Fair Trade and Social Entrepreneurship at MUMC. She also serves on the boards of the Kirkwood Dog Park Association and the Justice Advocates.

The Business of Social Responsibility

In the age of a growing number of conscious consumers investing in the laws of attraction and the intention economy, it is not enough for a business to make a PR splash with charitable donations.
