Six months ago, I embarked on a volunteer experience with Hecho Por Nosotros, https://lnkd.in/eG_nxE7P, an inspiring #NGO with consultative status at the United Nations. Their mission? To redefine the textile and fashion industry into a model of #sustainability and #inclusivity. Working alongside this team, I’ve had the privilege to indirectly contribute to capacity-building, research, and initiatives that empower indigenous artisans and tackle pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges.

This testimonial is a reminder of the impact we can create when passion meets purpose. It’s also a testament to the power of collaboration in building a more equitable industry and world.

Here’s to carrying this momentum into 2025, with new opportunities to learn, grow, and advocate for the causes that matter most.
