And when she feeling less ambitious, she’s fighting for equal opportunity for the women of the world. No really, she’s actively involved in Change International—a humanitarian organization that has empowered over 250,000 vulnerable women and children in 30 countries across North and South America, Africa and Europe. And for her homeward board efforts, Edith she serves on the board of directors of Carpenter’s Shelter—a shelter serving more than 784 homeless and formerly homeless people in Northern Virginia.
