Julia Rhee, Co-Founder, Retrofit Republic
Julia H. Rhee is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Retrofit Republic. Before co-founding the styling firm with a social impact, the Washington native organized with environmental and social justice organizations advocating for low-income populations and communities of color with nearly a decades' worth of youth work and teaching experience in New York City, Oakland, CA, and Tacoma, WA. Currently, Julia co-chairs NAPAWF Bay Area, the local chapter of the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum; the nation’s only multi-issue women’s organization advancing the rights and issues of Asian Pacific American women and girls. She proudly served served as the Executive Producer for the Asian Pacific American Vagina Monologues held at the Castro Theatre which raised over $23,000 for ending violence against women and girls and front page coverage in the San Francisco Chronicle. Julia is also on the activist grantmaking board of the Funding Exchange, a national network of family and community foundations which cumulatively awards $16 million dollars to social change organizations. When she’s not hunting down exquisite vintage finds around the Bay Area, she enjoys teaching yoga for queer and trans youth of color in the Tenderloin of San Francisco. |
