CREATIVE DIRECTOR/WRITER/FASHION DESIGNER/MODEL/ACTRESS/ACTIVIST
Tarla Makaeff is an American creative
entrepreneur, consumer advocate, civil/human/animal rights activist, and champion
for the underdog. Tarla has achieved
great success and awards for her businesses but she considers her greatest
impact to date that which she hopes to continue to make in contribution to her
fellow humankind. She started her venture into helping others when she began volunteering
as a hospital candy striper as a child and then at Make-A-Wish as an adult, the
need to help not only encouraged by her mother’s compassionate ways but also by
her own experience of having a Big Sister when she was a child.
As a fashion designer, she has had the
opportunity to attend and participate in events benefiting organizations such
as the Susan G. Komen for The Cure and GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against
Defamation), among many others, and believes philanthropy should always be the
end result of artistic expression.
Today, she firmly believes more than ever in
organizations designed to empower the helpless both in the United States and
abroad, including children, women, the elderly and many more without a
voice. She advocates for consumer/civil
rights as well as human/animal rights and strongly supports nonprofit
organizations such as Amnesty International, the Los Angeles Mission, the
American Civil Liberties Union, Save The Children, and the Humane Society. She
believes in order to create a better world, all living in it must take personal
responsibility and stand up against injustice to protect those who are
victimized. She documents these messages
and ways to get involved on her public Facebook page where you can post on her
wall.
Tarla also believes in these difficult times
that a positive mindset is needed globally to overcome the challenges millions
are facing whether hunger, abuse, loss of shelter, loss of income, or more.
Through her spiritual and religious beliefs, she knows that all things can be
overcome with faith. She tweets daily with quotes on positivity for all aspects
of one’s life from the anonymous to the famous leaders of our times and
generations past. She invites you to follow her on Twitter to enhance your
outlook on life with a daily dose of vitamin C.
