SUWANEE, Ga. - GeorgiaChron -- Every bit as proud of the award-winning work The Edge Agency creates on behalf of its clients, founder Alexandra Radford also revels in her company's stature as a women-owned business. The Metro Atlanta branding firm recently received two prestigious certifications – Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB). Both mark significant achievements for Radford's company after opening its doors in 2017. To celebrate, Radford and her team gifted clothing, makeovers, and a professional photo shoot to the residents of the House of Cherith. The support of the women-focused nonprofit served as a way for The Edge Agency to pay their accomplishments forward to women in need.

Launched in 2014, House of Cherith provides safe housing and supportive services where women can recover from the trauma of sexual exploitation and human trafficking. The Edge Team selected the nonprofit because they were touched by its mission to help its residents reclaim their dignity and self-worth, renew their faith in humanity, and rekindle their passion for a lifetime of success. The branding agency partnered with Beauty Babes ATL to provide hair and makeup to House of Cherith (https://www.hocatl.org/) residents. Edge is also taking up a collection of gently used clothes to help the nonprofit's residents build a wardrobe and feel empowered.

"Women can be incredibly impactful, and I'm beyond honored that The Edge Agency is made up of so many talented and powerful women," said Radford. "Both of our certifications were achieved after a rigorous vetting process, and – instead of simply celebrating in a traditional way – we felt compelled to pay it forward. As a branding company founded in faith, the choice to support House of Cherith was a natural one for me and my team. We chose to honor its residents because, honestly, nothing breaks our hearts more than the most basic human rights being denied to anyone. We loved the idea of planting a seed of hope in women who have felt hopeless. So many successful female leaders get to enjoy the little luxuries of life. If for no other reason than to make the residents of House of Cherith feel special for a day, that was enough for us to lavish these ladies with some well-deserved glitz and glam. After all, that's what women do best – we lift each other up when we're down. Besides being made to feel as special as they are, these ladies now have professional headshots that they can use on their social media profiles and resumes as they get back on their feet."
