Dr. Elle Wang is the Founder & CEO of Emilia George, a maternity workwear company that she started during her pregnancy to produce high-quality and professional-looking maternity clothing. The company uses high-end eco-friendly fabrics that not only will make the mom-to-be feel extra comfortable during her pregnancy but will also make sure her professional image is preserved with well- designed and highly functional maternity workwear. In addition, Elle is the founder of the Fabrics Matter Movement, which is currently being trademarked. Fabrics matter for maternity and postpartum clothing because when a mom is holding her baby, what she wears is what the little one wears as well. Elle’s son George twice had irritated skin after she held him close to her chest while wearing clothes that contained harsh dye. Elle wants to raise awareness of the importance of fabrics not only for baby’s clothes, but also for mom’s clothes.
Elle is also an advisor and strategist for Partnerships, Business Development, and stakeholder management at the United Nations in New York. She has traveled around the world for her job, including to Bidibidi Refugee camps in Northern Uganda and post-hurricane regions in Haiti.
Elle obtained her doctorate in public policy at George Mason University in Virginia, an MPP in international relations and economics from the School of Public Policy at Pepperdine University in California, and a BA in broadcast journalism from Tongji University, Shanghai. On this episode Elle and Blessing discussed what it's like to build a career and a business, ask for and receive support in caring for her son, engage in meaningful work while challenging and pushing boundaries in fashion and business.
