FEATURE
Sandy Keller has been helping poor and at-risk women get good jobs since she founded My Sister’s Closet in 1998. The non-profit puts women in high-end clothing, and helps them hone their interviewing and job skills through workshops and counseling. Twenty years ago, Keller worked near the Middle Way House transitional residence, and saw many of the women needed help finding good work. The experience inspired her to start an organization that’s helped nearly 2000 women. She joins Michael Glab on this week’s edition of Big Talk.
