Slide sandals are like flip-flops, but they have the band across the foot instead of the strap between the toes. What […]

September 21, 2016 by Leave a Comment
To say Re Think creator and founder Trisha Prabhu is an entrepreneur is an understatement. The 16-year-old computer whiz is part entrepreneur, part typical teenager, and part crusader for social justice.

I recently spoke with Alanna York to get a Controlled Chaos update. I first spoke with Alanna back in January, 2016 – ten days before her episode aired.
