Watching professional women struggle to manage their homes—and home care workers struggle for dignity—awakened Stephanie Cummings, MBA’s redemptive imagination. Stephanie reimagined the model for the industry, making it easier for customers to get the help they need and bringing dignity to workers by hiring them as W-2 employees with benefits and advancement opportunities rather than just independent contractors. “Please Assist Me quickly went from providing this home care app for working women to also empowering a lot of women, especially women of color, who do work with their hands and serve in the home,” she said. “By investing in our employees, they stay longer, they thrive, they grow.” At Praxis, we work with entrepreneurs who bring restoration and blessing to others even when it’s costly—like Stephanie honoring an overlooked workforce. Where could you build what you want to see changed in the world?
