Episode 16 - The Power of Individual Expression: Katelyn Treviño, Founder and CEO of Uni Co.

https://www.unicocollection.shop "Being adopted from South Korea to a Hispanic dad, white mom, and brother who was biologically theirs, I always felt like an outsider. Growing up, I felt like I didn't 'fit in' anywhere and I had a hard time finding and understanding my place in the world. But once I realized that being unique is powerful, I embraced my story and grew to love being different. Eventually I was able to see that regardless of what skin color a person has, everyone has a unique story, and that is actually what makes us all have something in common. ​Uni Co. represents the essence of individuality and the specific value and worth that each person has in this universe. My hope is that anyone who has ever felt ashamed of being different, finds that there is so much greatness in being one of a kind." Find Uni Co. on Instagram @uni_co_official
