Last night we also went to Busboys & Poets in Tacoma Park for an inspirational talk from an extraordinary entrepreneur. Jessica Jackley co-founded Kiva, the first micro-lending website, so people in impoverished countries could take advantage of micro-loans to start small businesses. She wanted to share what she learned; this week she published a book about her experience, CLAY WATER BRICK: Finding Inspiration from Entrepreneurs Who Do the Most With the Least.

Between the time Jessica started and finished this book, she had twin boys, here, and a baby, all of whom are on the book tour with her. She came to share the book’s message about hope, potential and empowerment through entrepreneurship. It's for anyone who wants to make a difference in the world. You can order it here or read about her and the book at claywaterbrick.com.
