 Sonia Smith Kang Founder Mixed Up Clothing Sonia
Smith Kang, the founder of Mixed Up Clothing, is a fashion pioneer and
advocate for multicultural representation. Her mission-driven
childrens-wear brand draws from her AfroLatina heritage and commitment
to diversity. Recognized as a certified Women Minority Business
Enterprise (WMBE), Smith Kang’s work has challenged the lack of cultural
representation in the fashion industry. She empowers underrepresented
communities through fashion, with her designs gaining popularity and
celebrity recognition. Smith Kang also actively engages in philanthropy,
especially during the pandemic, by producing fabric face masks and
supporting various nonprofit agencies. As
vice-president of Multiracial Americans of Southern California and an
advocate for multicultural representation, she continues to uplift and
inspire the next generation, making her a trailblazer in DEIA
initiatives. Smith Kang was recognized at Dodger Stadium by L.A. Mayor
Eric Garcetti for organizing the first-ever Mixed Heritage Day at Dodger
Stadium. |
