The APTE Summit is a dynamic and free annual event that showcases how innovative leaders around the world are advancing in the battle against poverty. This one day event brings together people of all walks of life who have one thing in common: they want to do good, and try to do it better. The community we foster connects students, academics, practitioners, policy makers, and community members who have the collective power to truly change the world. We believe entrepreneurship, innovation and new ways of thinking will turn the tables in the effort to end poverty.

APTE Podcast Episode 10 - Amy Peterson
Monday, 23 February, 2015
At last year's APTE Summit, we had a conversation with a panel of social entrepreneurs from Detroit on the future of their city. In anticipation of this year's summit on February 28th, we've decided to revisit Detroit and talk with emerging social business Rebel Nell, co-founded by Amy Peterson! Rebel Nell repurposes graffiti as high-fashion jewelery. They employ local homeless and at-risk women, involving them in every aspect of production and marketing, and teaching them business skills in the process. We talk to Amy about the social goals of Rebel Nell and the role that small artisan companies can play in Detroit's revitalization. Check out Rebel Nell here: http://www.rebelnell.com/
