Julie Hu, 26, founder and CEO, Lark
We have all been there- Those mornings when all you want to do is sleep, and your significant other's alarm is blaring at some horrible hour. Well Julia Hu was having that issue on a very regular basis, so she created a solution. A silent alarm clock! A wristband that syncs with your Iphone and vibrates!
Bridgette Carr, 34, Director of the Human Trafficking Clinic, University of Michigan Law School
Solely dedicated to to assisting Human Trafficking, Carr's clinic is the only of it's kind. Mainly helping women and children forced into labor of all kinds in the U.S. she is a direct contact for the National Human Trafficking Center, so when a case comes up, Bridgette's cll phone rings. The issue of human trafficking is terrifying and very real, and something we should all be aware of since it is happening in our own backyard.
