"I am Khadeejah Honesty, I spent my early 20's in a successful career in Fashion and Marketing. I got pregnant and had my daughter Zion at 23 weeks which left her dead for the first 13 minutes of her life, weighing a total of 1 lb 5oz, six months in the NICU, blood transfusions and a heart surgery. As a single mother and daily advocate for my daughter I had to walk away from my job to be with her everyday and lost everything! Soon after, I was diagnosed with post-partum depression and found myself homeless."

"More challenges followed—a year off to care for Zion, a stint at marketing firm LMO before it downsized and a gig at South Moon Under," Northern Virginia Magazine reports. "All the while, the concept of Sōultry was forming."

"Soultry is a slow made lifestyle brand that looks to inspire women and men to live a sustainable life in totality. We are where Soul-care and Self-care collide."

On May 19th, United Way of the National Capital Area will host the 9th Annual Do More 24, convening the D.C. region’s nonprofit community, including Doorways, to collectively focus on engaging our supporters in an effort to do more in our community, all in 24 hours!
