This week’s guest is Sunshine Powers, the owner, magic maker & glitter queen of the iconic retail store & artist collective, Love on Haight, in the famed Haight Asbury district of San Francisco. Not only is Sunny a magical human being but she has quite the story, having lived a classic country song, she lost everything in the market crash of 2008 (even her dog!), wrote an internationally acclaimed blog, “Diaries of a Tenderloin Princess” and in 2016 she took ownership of Jammin on Haight which became Love on Haight and has continued to spread the love through her latest endeavor - Colors of Love (on Haight) Foundation. A non-profit inspired by the death of George Floyd and a desire to do more for her community. Colors of Love acts as a Women’s Prisoner Reentry Program by assisting 2-3 women a year & teaches them the art of tie-dye & the business behind it. Sunny shares with us her deep live & connection with her first, neighborhood & community as well as her drive to do her part to bring more love (& glitter) to the people.
