Today I get to interview Amrita Thadani founder of Neococo. Neococo is a social-impact fashion company that empowers refugee women through community femininity and hand embroidery. Before starting Neococo Amrita graduated from the Parson School of Design, the new school, and worked as a fashion stylist for 15 years.


Neococo has been featured in publications like Los Angeles Times, Refinery 29, and most recently NBC, California Live. I love what Amrita does so much and how she's able to create jobs for refugee women. And I believe that you're gonna learn so much from her story, and hopefully it empowers you to make change through the things you create too.
