In the Pushy Women edition of Ground Control, Sarah Athanas examines the female experience with women doing great things in our community and beyond.

In this episode, local legends Shara Porter and Elissa Paquette talk about fashion. Shara Porter has built a business around selling customized, hand-printed wallets, handbags and accessories that you can order online or purchase in downtown New Bedford at Hippo.
