Maison Farola and Detroit Soup Co-Founder Amy Kaherl

Sisters-in-law Farah and Oula left behind their day jobs as an occupational therapist and pharmacist to follow their passion for flowers. They combined their two names to create Maison Farola, known for their signature hatbox arrangements. They join Danialle and "Lucy" to share their story, talk flower trends and care.

Amy Kaherl, co-founder of Detroit Soup and a White House Champion of Change, talks about her background and how that led her to create to a new way to pitch and fund ideas in our local communities, that is being implemented around the world. She also talks about religion, pop culture, and her time as a DJ.
