Hello, I'm...
My name is Susan Peterson. I live in Atlanta with my husband Todd and we have two adult children. Todd played in the NFL for fourteen seasons, and I am a small business owner of two brands: Relish and Cabell’s Designs. Among other passions, I served on the board of a social enterprise called Karama Collection for about 10 years, a business alleviating poverty through providing creative, purposeful work to artisans in Africa, Haiti and the Middle East. The men and women who worked with Karama melted bullets into beads in rural Ethiopia, made stationery from elephant dung in Tanzania, rebuilt an artisan workshop in Kenya, scrubbed leather bags clean with volunteers in Indiana, and hand-crafted Christmas ornaments for holiday trees worldwide. Karama was eventually sold to Mercy House and the dream of helping to alleviate poverty continues. I loved using what I’ve learned in my years running a business to help grow a business that had such impact on the lives of the working poor.
