At Empowerment Plan, we work to produce our durable and innovative coat that transforms into a sleeping bag. This employment opportunity ensures that each person we hire is able to earn a stable income, find secure housing, and regain their independence.

“With a deep commitment to women and families in our community, the Detroit Lions have proudly partnered with the Empowerment Plan since 2016. Helping people move beyond crisis and establish stability is a core part of our community giving strategy, which aligns well with the Empowerment Plan mission. From engaging former players to distribute coats in shelters each year, to hosting current players and their wives to see and participate in the sewing process, Empowerment Plan provides tangible ways for the team to have a meaningful impact on some of our most vulnerable populations in our community.”

I really believe that people can tackle far
more than they think they can

woman have a really difficult time
understanding how valuable they are

the idea of self worth  is very important to me
because i grew up kid of addicts
we are kind of setup for failure
we are set up in a home that we hand to climb our way
out of i ended up getting a great scholarship to go to the college
a class ended up changing my entire life

designed somthing to fill actual need
i did my research at homeless shelters
the first product i created was the coat
the coat looks like a regular jacket during a day
but when you open it actually slide your feet in all
the way up to your knees
they all grow it
closed again to make a sleeping bag
i was talking to the  homeless population
getting feedback
making prototype after prototype

when i was on like prototype number seven a
woman came out of the shelter that i was in
and she was yelling at me
she was full-on screaming and
we dont need coats
coats are pointless
we need jobs
really she was completely right  because
a coat is just a band aid for  a systemic issue
hiring the population that would need them in the first place

we hire only individuals from homeless shelters
and train them and everything from
sewign and manufacturing to employment
whatever they need become more indepdentat
yoga,
financial literacy

working for cause

knowing that i can make this cold and help
somebody that was in my position
so i take great pride in what  i do
