From our Volunteers
Hanbit, BJM VOlunteer
Meet Hanbit, who has been a part of the EdenMade core team of volunteers since the beginning—since before the beginning, really. Hanbit began interceding for women in the sex industry when she was in high school. In college, Hanbit joined our founder Ruthie Kim in visiting strip clubs in North Beach. Years later, when EdenMade began, Hanbit was right there to vision cast and turn that vision into a reality. Volunteering in strip clubs isn’t the only impressive thing Hanbit does. She’s also a fashion designer -- her work has walked the runway at New York Fashion Week! “I love women,” says Hanbit. “I want to serve them in any way I can, whether through EdenMade or fashion design. I had a mentor in my early 20s who taught me to dress in a way that demands dignity and respect. That really stuck with me, and when I started studying fashion, I realized I could serve women by showing them how valuable and loved they are by designing garments that would make them feel dignified, respected, and loved.”
Sophie, BJM VOlunteer
Meet Sophie, our resident music teacher and volunteer extraordinaire! “I love volunteering with Because Justice Matters because it allows me to be a part of amplifying the voices of young women. BJM’s vision really speaks to me because I can see that the team wants the community to flourish, starting with the staff and continuing forward to the girls for years to come. My calling in life is to utilize creative arts to cultivate healing and worship -- BJM is the perfect place to do this.” Sophie fell in love with San Francisco during her urban semester studying here with Westmont College. Currently, she is on staff at Reality Church as the music ministry administrator and is also the resident director of the urban semester at Westmont College in San Francisco.
