Today we’re excited to be connecting with Bella Baskin again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.

Bella, always such a pleasure connecting with you and thank you for sharing your stories, insights and inspiring messages with our community. We’re looking forward to getting the download and what you have been up to since our last interview, but first can you briefly introduce yourself to folks who might have missed the prior conversation.
My name is Bella Baskin,
I am the CEO & Founder of Bless It Bag, Inc
We are a non-profit that makes hygiene kits for the homeless. We make human and pet hygiene kits. They are sold online and meant to be a more helpful alternative to money for the buyer to give directly to those in need.

Great, so let’s jump into an update on what you have been up to since we last spoke. What can you share with us?
We’ve sold out several times and recently released a new product, a gender neutral bag. We just donated half our inventory to the LA fire victims and animal shelters. We’ve collaborated with many celebrity and influencer endorsements.

We also want to give folks a chance to get to know you a bit better so we’ve prepared a fun lightning round of questions. Ready?
