Actress and musician Caitlin Crosby is helping others through words and deeds.
[CNN] Actress/singer Caitlin Crosby is about inspiring lives any way she can. Posting inspiring messages online is just one of the many ways she does that. She also uses her music tours as a vehicle to spread love.
“In between songs on tour, I always take timeto try and encourage the girls to appreciate all of the things that make them unique and all of the things that maybe you hate about yourself, those are things that make you. And you’re the only you, you’re ever going to be,” Crosby said.
But the movement Crosby created through asimple fashion statement was even a surprise to her. After receiving compliments for a hotel key that she had engraved and wore around her neck on achain, Crosby started selling similar ones while on tour.
A few years later in 2008, she started the company, The Giving Keys, which employs people who are transitioning out of homelessness. The jewelry line includes necklaces, bracelets and rings. The company also sells iPhone caseswith a key and a message of your choice.
