Knowing that the women who make our clothes have these same aspirations is the core motivation for Ruby's involvement in socially conscious fashion. Her perspective and advocacy has been shaped by her roots as a spoken word poet, arts educator, and Asian-American community advocate. Despite coming from humble beginnings as an immigrant daughter raised in Sacramento, California, she created study and work opportunities to live in places like Italy, the Philippines, the Bay Area, and New York City, thus, feeding her desire to motivate others to dream big.
