As a cancer thriver myself, I wore pink ballet flats throughout my treatments. It gave me a bright colorful boost and courage in one of the darkest times of my life. Through Poppies with Purpose, we hope to spread those feelings of empowerment and encouragement to those fighting cancer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Our name was inspired by a sentimental family garment, pink ballet flats, and a need to give back. It all started with the poppy flower patterned \u201cduster\u201d my grandmother wore in the 1950s, which my talented mother turned into a handmade quilt after hearing about my cancer diagnosis. The quilt had a colorful poppy flower pattern, and it comforted and connected me to my family throughout my hospital treatments. We package every pair of shoes in a signature \u201cduster\u201d bag. Our mission is to ignite hope, bravery, and positivity with each colorful shoe as we step toward helping female cancer researchers make a difference in the world of cancer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-30094 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/QUILT-WRAP-1366x2048-1-230x345.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/QUILT-WRAP-1366x2048-1-230x345.jpeg 230w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/QUILT-WRAP-1366x2048-1-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/QUILT-WRAP-1366x2048-1-333x500.jpeg 333w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/QUILT-WRAP-1366x2048-1-768x1151.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/QUILT-WRAP-1366x2048-1-1025x1536.jpeg 1025w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/QUILT-WRAP-1366x2048-1.jpeg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What was the main reason for choosing Hult for your Online MBA? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fede: I chose to do my Online MBA at Hult because of their innovative approach to teaching business education.

His course was a guidebook for our brand&#8217;s marketing strategy. His approach to teaching challenged us to think critically about business strategy and how to effectively communicate our brand&#8217;s mission and values to our target customers. Professor Fisher considered our project to be of such high quality that he recommended it for inclusion in Hult&#8217;s featured projects. This was a huge honor for us, and it helped raise awareness of our brand and mission. We are grateful for his mentorship and support.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Who was your favorite Hult professor, and why? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fede: Professor Fisher&#8217;s guidance, mentorship, and genuine interest were invaluable in helping Poppies With Purpose achieve our initial goals. In addition to Professor Fisher, I&#8217;ve also found tremendous value and appreciation in learning from professor Larry Louie. His financial statement analysis class provided a solid foundation in financial accounting and taught us how to analyze financial statements, which has been incredibly helpful in managing the finances for Poppies. He also led my first Business Challenge, which pushed me to think creatively about business strategy and provided me with a framework for navigating the challenges of launching a new brand at an accelerated pace.\u00a0We feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with such talented professors at Hult. Their guidance and mentorship have been valuable in helping us achieve our goals. \u00a0And the skills I&#8217;ve gained will continue to benefit Poppies with Purpose.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Your pieces are so unique\u2014what\u2019s your inspiration? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lisa: The inspiration behind Poppies with Purpose comes from my experience with breast cancer. I worked with footwear design and color specialists to bring the product to life. The colorful knit upper is made from recycled polyester and the footbeds are made of soft, breathable leather. This keeps feet dry, comfortable and provides all-day wear. And the right heel features a gold-plated charm with the Poppies with Purpose flower logo. These details make our shoes stand out in a crowded market and embody our brand&#8217;s mission.\u00a0Our color-focused approach to highlighting cancer types is an important aspect of our brand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-30095 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Colors-FAV-scaled-1-230x345.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Colors-FAV-scaled-1-230x345.jpg 230w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Colors-FAV-scaled-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Colors-FAV-scaled-1-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Colors-FAV-scaled-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Colors-FAV-scaled-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Colors-FAV-scaled-1-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3-Colors-FAV-scaled-1.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/p>\n<div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Poppies with Purpose is the first shoe brand where some proceeds go to female cancer researchers.

We hope to create a brand that is more than just a product but a movement. From May 2023, we will have three shoe colors available. The Signature Pink Shoe is for breast cancer, and The Staple Navy Blue Shoe is for colorectal cancer. Knock Out Orange is for leukemia and kidney cancer.
