Stephanie O'Quigley
Fiona and Carolina chat with Stephanie O'Quigley, award-winning blogger and host of the wellness, health, and lifestyle podcast, The Wall. She is also the extraordinary Public Relations Manager for Spotlight Oral Care, the Irish healthcare brand of vegan-cruelty-free-and-sustainable oral care products that can now be found at Ulta, Target, CVS, and more! They also get into the highs-and-lows of the O-1 visa application process, and what it has been like to be an immigrant in the U.S. during, and now after, the previous administration's anti-immigrant agenda.

Walle Mafolasire, Givelify
Fiona and Carolina chat with Walle Mafolasire, CEO and Founder of Givelify, a donation management app that helps connect non-profit and faith-based organizations directly with their members and donors. Global changes in technology, lifestyle, and even the unprecedented coronavirus pandemic, have all transformed the way we give. In an increasingly cashless society, innovations like Givelify help to bridge the gaps between organizations and the untapped millions of donors that want to give and make this world a kinder and better place.
Walle is an inspirational testament to the wealth, strength, and importance of our immigrant communities throughout the U.S. In this episode, you'll hear from Walle himself, who credits the diversity of his communities around him throughout his life in the U.S. as the driving force behind his successes.
Whether you are an organization seeking to better connect and grow your membership, or whether you are someone who wants simply "Tap. Give. Done." - you can learn more about Givelify at www.givelify.com
In honor of Prostate Cancer Awareness, and the memories of Walle's father, Olatunji Mafolasire, and Fiona's cousin, Owen Farrell, we invite our listeners to donate to Big Hearts for Cancer Patients through this link.
