Momentum: Episode #25 - Rachel Dodson

In 2013, Rachel Dodson left her life in New York City as a successful agent at one of the top modelling agencies and moved to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Her mission: to create a social enterprise jewelry company--called Penh Lenh--that would empower marginalized and at-risk young women by providing quality education, skills training, and advanced career opportunities. Rachel believes that through designing bold, colorful, and unique pieces, Penh Lenh is creating a platform for so much more. She sees every day as an opportunity to educate, empower, and impact not only her staff but also the community around her. 100% of the company’s profits are reinvested into the social mission of Penh Lenh.
