Her startup, Naja, produces eco-conscious lingerie for women around the world. These digitally-printed garments are not only comfortable and stylish, but they are also made by single mothers and female heads of households around the world in an effort to make the world a better place. Rodriguez is committed to this cause, as she came from a struggling background herself. Rodriguez’s commitment to social good is well-documented, as she has championed a wide range of campaigns that encourage women to get out there and tackle their dreams. From hosting the Young Women’s Honors to establishing Naja in Columbia so hardworking women can get more than minimum wage, she’s made empowering women in business her goal. Plus, her optimism is infectious. Tech.Co’s own Frank Gruber interviewed Gina Rodriguez at SXSW this past week. If you’re interested in what she’s doing for the world, watch the video below:
