Ever wonder how your business can give back to the greater good of the community? Trying to think of ways to contribute to a cause bigger than yourself? How can you make a difference and create a sustainable fair trade business?

Meet Daniela Castellano, Journalism major turned entrepreneur, and founder of Castellano Ethnic Origins. The mission of her business is to support the ethnic tribes in Colombia who seek to preserve their weaving skills and cultural heritage. She is based out of London and sells handbags, book bags, and bracelets to customers around the world. Her company’s aim is to help improve the living conditions for the traditional weavers, their families, and their community, with an emphasis on clean water, electricity, and education. Her story and her journey is nothing short of amazing, especially given the fact she had to start completely from scratch.
