JillsBirds’nWords, Jill’s most recent venture, started as a fund raiser for her brother suffering cancer and the burden of paying for it. To quote Jill, “I never thought this body of work would turn into my next creative expression and life’s work”. Her family’s experience in entrepreneurship has guided Jill to this new business model of creating, sharing and giving back, all rolled up in this unique package, JillsBirds’nWords and The York Butler Fund.
