Amy takes us through her career path, which began as a lawyer for the Detroit Tigers, as well as how getting the chance to meet with women staying at a local homeless shelter shifted her perspective on life. She also explains Rebel Nell’s process of creating art and jewelry out of things like graffiti, old sports stadiums and more.
