    In a world where fast fashion is still the norm, we’re committed to reducing fashion waste through rewearable, timeless clothing.

“I’m an author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and mom of two on a quest to live a joyful and

abundant life.

Born and raised in Canada to immigrant parents, I was instilled with a desire to make the world a

better place by helping both people and the planet. Before the 3Rs became a thing, they were

already reducing, reusing and recycling in their own way - partially because they couldn’t afford new,

but also because they didn’t like the idea of wasting.

Fast forward, and I’m here, continuing in my journey to contribute positively to the world. Each step

in my path has taught me something valuable, including working in different types of organizations,

from entry to board level, non-profit to profit, how to work with diverse teams as well as develop

programming and products in collaboration with community and customers.

In my present capacity at Henkaa, I get to use clothing as a means to uplift women and help them do

more with less, while donating 1% of our sales to the Joanna Duong Chang Memorial Foundation to

help girls and women reach their fullest potentials.

In a world where fast fashion is still the norm, we’re committed to reducing fashion waste through

re-wearable, timeless clothing. Henkaa’s versatile collection of dresses and tops is rewearable, body-

positive and inclusive.”
