Peas for Prosperity……… The Story

Page 3: Christy Annis - Portfolio

In October 2009, I founded and developed Peas for Prosperity, a distinctive, southern-inspired, black-eyed pea product line and a business model that

provided employment for the homeless population in Atlanta, Georgia.

I also created Peas to Paychecks, working with homeless shelters and hiring their residents to assist in the production and packaging of our

products. Participants were thrilled with the opportunity to do meaningful work and the best part of my week was delivering their paychecks on Fridays. I also partnered with the Atlanta Community Food Bank and

donated 10 percent of all profits to this vital Atlanta non-profit.

As the Founder of Peas for Prosperity, My Accomplishments Included:

•  Designed and oversaw the eco-friendly packaging of black-eyed peas

•  Designed and manufactured ecoREcreations, a line of handcrafted jewelry made from 100 percent recycled materials

•  Managed all aspects of the business, including product development, sales and marketing

•  Promoted products through social media, public relations and marketing•  Gained local, national and international media coverage

•  Built relationships with local and national non-profits and corporations

•  Taught entrepreneurial skills to homeless teens and adults

Peas for Prosperity featured distinctive packaging utilizing

sustainable materials whenever possible. The tag on this bag was printed on recycled card

stock and tied with a ribbon made from recycled onion

bags.

Peas were packaged and product was

assembled by homeless

employees hired through the Peas

to Paychecks program.

Peas for Prosperity received substantial local, national, and international media

coverage including a feature on CNN.

Peas for Prosperity was invited to showcase jewelry at Green Fashion Week in New York City.

The show was a great experience but due to an allergic reaction from the chemicals used to make the jewelry, I realized I needed to create a more

sustainable jewelry line.

The core of the ecoREcreations jewelry line featured “beads” made from recycled newspaper and coated with pages from

recycled books and magazines. Beads were accompanied with materials that were recycled, thrifted, or gifted.

I created a partnership with the Atlanta Convention and Visitor’s Bureau to recycle their outdated

tourist brochures and magazines.

In these photos I was “dumpster diving” for recycled materials.

The Peas for Prosperity experience was 18 months of incredible high’s and low’s.  It was the happiest, most rewarding experience of my life to date.  I enjoyed helping the community, fundraising and networking. I was said to let it go but circumstances required

I leave my beloved business behind. A new challenge awaited, it was China time.

I spent 3.5 years teaching English, Business English, Business and Economics to a variety of students in China, Vietnam and Myanmar. Living and working

in Asia was fascinating and exhilarating but also incredibly difficult at times. I fell in love with teaching and it’s an experience I will always cherish.
