Kate Bryan is the Founder and CEO of 1 Girl Revolution. After living away from Detroit for nearly 10 years, Kate recently returned to her roots and decided that Detroit was the ideal place to launch 1 Girl Revolution. 1 Girl Revolution is the embodiment of Detroit's two mottos – “there is always hope” and “it will rise from the ashes.” Just like for us, there is always hope and we will rise from the ashes. 1 Girl Revolution highlights the stories of everyday women who are changing the world through their lives. And our hope is that we can inspire and empower every woman to see her value, her purpose, and her power – and recognize that she has the power to change the world through her life.

Kari Warberg Block, an unlikely disruptor, challenged an industry that by its very nature is toxic. As the Founder & CEO of EarthKind, Kari discovered that 98% of pest control solutions sold were poison & kill methods – so she set out to invent a better solution: plant-based pest control powered by nature. Kari was the first to develop, manufacture, and commercialize poison-free rodent and insect repellents for farm and home use, with a mission to build a purpose led company to create change through business. Once a mom on food stamps Kari started EarthKind with nothing more than a package of garden seeds and a vision, and has built it into $20 million company. Kari was selected as an Ernst & Young “Entrepreneurial Winning Women,” and has gone from being a part of her local homemakers club to advising the SBA, Congress and the White House on policy that impacts women in business. She has been featured in CNBC, the New York Times, Huffington Post and Forbes.
