The second in a special series co-produced with Watson\u2019s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS), guest host Dr. Pablo Rodriguez talks with Mohamed Malim, founder of Epimonia. Epimonia is a Minnesota-based apparel company that\u2019s fighting to help refugees around the world: 50% of their proceeds go to charities supporting refugees, they employ recent refugees in their factory, and their products are designed to raise awareness of refugees\u2019 stories. It\u2019s social entrepreneurship in every sense of the word. On this episode they discuss Mohamed's story, his vision for Epimonia, and why everybody wins when refugees are allowed to thrive.(Record in March 2020.)\n\nYou can learn more about CLACS here: [https://watson.brown.edu/clacs/]\n\nYou can learn more about Epimonia here: [https://epimonia.com/]\n\nYou can watch Mohamed\u2019s talk at Watson here: \n[https://watson.brown.edu/events/2020/changing-refugee-narrative-through-fashion]\n\nYou can read a transcript of this episode here: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I3a8-AlWNGsaAeZwbxJg5XEvytmGfyJ9/view?usp=sharing]","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/3c411e96-1841-4e50-b1be-775b34486db7/artworks-nj41rzkjrskt83oh-biifbw-t3000x3000.jpg"}
