Mom & Daughter Guest Speaker Edition
Tammy & Maddie Bugger
Not a Day Over Fabulous & Hand Up Housing NFP
"Follow your hearts and don't listen to the haters." - Tammy

"I really enjoyed listening that they move on with mistakes, I will take that advice." - CEO Student

Tammy is a full-time worker in the healthcare field, but locally she is most known for her engaging and encouraging blog Not a Day Over Fabulous and she is just that - fabulous (just take a look at the photos of her shoes for evidence). Beyond being fabulous she is also smart, kind, and brave. Why do we say brave? Not everyone can put themselves out there to start a blog... the risk? No one joins, no one engages, people talk about you - she looked past these risks and went for it! Her group page has tons of engagement and she poses interesting questions to the group where you can learn more about each other. It really feels like a community in her group.

Maddie not only looks like her mom, but also has her character attributes. She is the Finance and Funding Manager at Hand Up Housing NFP in addition to running her own business Bright Delights Candle Company. She shared that the idea to start making candles came from a citronella plant she had and needing a creative outlet. Her candles are not your everyday candles, they are elaborately crafted.
Her work at Hand Up Housing is exciting as they are a new start up. Their goal is to create a hand up NOT a hand out to the homeless community. They are a faith based NFP providing shelter, housing and social services to Jersey & Madison County, IL. Their goal is to have tiny homes along with a navigation center that helps people get back on their feet by teaching them skills along with providing mental health services. Check out their page to follow along as they are going to create a meaningful impact.

Thank you both for speaking with us!
