Yesterday evening I covered an event sponsored by Chrysalis (www.changelives.org).  This nonprofit organization takes homeless women through empowerment programs, such as writing resumes, interviewing skills, etc.  This group is trying to solve homelessness from a long-term point of view.  I had the blessing to covering their event before their “graduation”, which was held at a salon and day spa in santa monica.  They got a makeover and a new suit too to further equip them going out to the working world.

 ”I’m 116 days clean and sober!” Lorenna (above) tells me.  “That means I’m not only free of alcohol, but also of cocaine too.”  She began her job working for a magazine in Hollywood just last Monday.
