Libby Haan on how surviving breast cancer led to an entrepreneurial venture

<p>In this week's episode we talk to Libby Haan, designer, musician, and fashion PR veteran. Several years after a breast cancer diagnosis and various related surgeries, Haan was having a hard time finding comfortable shirts and undergarments. So she decided to create her own. In 2018, Haan launched Who Shirt Company, a label of soft, wearable shirts with built-in shelf bras. Haan utilized her 20-year career in fashion PR to build the label, and her personal experience with cancer gave it a cause. The shirts are made in America, all production waste is recycled, and $5 of every Who shirt purchase goes right to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.</p> <p>During this episode, Libby tells Mission about breaking into the fashion industry, her stories from the not-always glamorous fashion world, and her candid accounts of life with breast cancer.</p> <p><strong>FIND LIBBY</strong></p> <p>Personal:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/haaninthecity">@haaninthecity</a></p> <p>Work:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/whoshirtcompany/?hl=en">@whoshirtcompany</a></p> <p>Website:&nbsp;<a href="https://whoshirtcompany.com">whoshirtcompany.com</a></p> <p><strong>FIND MISSION HOSTS</strong></p> <p>Karina:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/missionmagazine">@missionmagazine</a></p> <p>Website:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.missionmag.org">missionmag.org</a></p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/mission-magazine/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/mission-magazine/support</a>
