Hundreds of Haitians came to Greeley, Colorado, looking for a place to stay and a good job at JBS, the largest meat producer in the world.

Instead, they found squalid housing and an unsafe workplace.

Now, they’re being deported.

Haitian immigrants went to Colorado for the promise of jobs. What they found is being called human trafficking.

1. The effects of strokes can be FULLY REVERSED within 2 hours if you get them immediate medical treatment

2. The fact that they felt comfortable alluding that it was okay to let a drug addict die in custody without medical attention is INSANE

I used to think I was a 36DD. Turns out I’m a 34i (four cups up!) The U.S. bra industry thrives on bad fittings so your bras wear out fast & you keep buying more. A proper fit means your bras & comfort last longer $ you’re actually getting more out of your investment.

“Im-breast-ment” 🤣

Getting a real bra fitting changed everything for me. I used to live in uniboob sports bras & call it a day. Now I pick my bras to match my outfits (or vice versa). I feel supported, confident, & my titties are sitting. If you’re in NYC & need a fitting, hit me up & I’ll hook you up✨
