Tiffani Sharp is founder and president of Willow Tree Roots. She is a licensed attorney with a specialization in international law and her own legal practice and has spent over a decade advocating for the legal rights of the underrepresented. She has also volunteered much of her time assisting women who are the victims of domestic violence. She has traveled the world extensively to developing countries volunteering in orphanages and working with women to improve their socioeconomic status.

Through her legal practice and travels, she observed that in communities where women actively participated in changing and improving their own economic status, the communities as whole benefited. This underlying philosophy, that improving the socioeconomic status of women is the key to improving a community at large, is at the root of Willow Tree Roots.

Gina Vucci is a published author and has contributed to a number of best-selling personal growth titles. She brings an infectious enthusiasm for people and the planet — not only founding her own organization to serve women and children affected by poverty, violence, homelessness and human trafficking, she is also an NGO delegate to the United Nations serving at the UN’s Commission on the Status of Women and the High Level Political Forum.
