We believe that everyone deserves a chance to dream again, to create, and to live a life of purpose and hope. And that's what we get to do every day at Rethreaded.
What if you could transform lives with a needle and thread? In this heartwarming episode of 'The Super Human Life,' Frank Rich chats with Kristin Keen, the remarkable founder of Rethreaded. Kristin's journey began in Kolkata, India, where she witnessed the harrowing effects of human trafficking firsthand. This experience ignited her passion to create change, leading her to co-found Sari Bari, a business employing over 120 locals to craft beautiful handmade blankets from traditional fabrics. But Kristin didn't stop there.
Upon returning to Jacksonville, she felt a calling to continue her mission closer to home. That's how Rethreaded was born—a sanctuary where survivors of human trafficking can heal, learn new skills, and regain their sense of purpose. Since its inception in 2012, Rethreaded has provided over 55,000 hours of work and a safe haven for more than 35 women. Kristin's story is a powerful testament to the impact one person can make when driven by compassion and determination.
