YouTube - The Rags2Riches Manifesto

As we celebrate the 2nd year anniversary of Rags2Riches, we affirm our commitment to the advocacy we are building – an Eco-Ethical LifeStyle elegantly encapsulated in our Manifesto :

My lifestyle is life-giving.

I refuse to live in any other way. I believe that we should never compromise beauty for life or life
for beauty. They come together, and they are perfect together.

I live an Eco-Ethical lifestyle. I am a stylish, Eco-Ethical advocate.

I believe in recognizing the names and faces of the hands that made the products I enjoy. I
want to know that the products that enrich my lifestyle also enrich and empower the lives of the
community artisans who make them.

I am not a worshipper of faceless brands. I respect and admire the humanity woven into every
fabric and fiber of the products I love.

I believe that while fashion changes with seasons, style is timeless. And when style is fused with
Eco-Ethical values, it then becomes Eternal. Eco-Ethical style is more than a fashion statement, it
is a social statement. This stylish social statement makes me a stylish advocate.

I believe in celebrating a beautiful and stylish lifestyle without scarring the planet in any way. My
beauty and stylishness is a reflection of the beauty of the planet made even more beautiful by
my decisions.

I live and breathe Eco-Ethical products. Upcycling uplifts me. Organic makes me ecstatic. My
stylish lifestyle gives life to the planet.

I live the Eco-Ethical lifestyle. I live and celebrate Rags2Riches.
