A Mission with a Business: Justice Entrepreneurship with Rev. Becca Stevens

The Rev. Becca Stevens shares her journey becoming the founder of Thistle Farms, a powerful social enterprise that helps women heal from trauma, addiction, and trafficking. What began as a small venture making bath and body products has blossomed into a nationwide movement, complete with a cafe, global partnerships, and over 70 sister communities across the U.S. Rev. Stevens offers a fresh take on "justice entrepreneurship," prioritizing dignity and empowerment over profit and explains the importance of tackling big challenges, staying open to new paths, and building a strong circle of support. Rev. Stevens was the 2000 Nashvillian of the Year and in 2013 was inducted into the Tennessee Women's Hall of Fame.
