In this episode, we’re joined by the remarkable Rajia Abdelaziz, founder and CEO of invisaWear. Rajia’s journey began after a harrowing personal experience that fueled her mission to enhance personal safety for women. With her company, she’s redefining wearable technology by seamlessly blending fashion with life-saving security features — empowering users to discreetly alert emergency contacts and law enforcement with style.

Rajia, an engineer turned entrepreneur, shares not only the innovation behind invisaWear but also her bold decision to turn down major job opportunities, such as one at Google, to focus on championing women’s safety. Despite facing challenges in securing funding amid a landscape of ageism, sexism, and racism, Rajia’s resilience and a powerful pitch attracted angel investors, propelling her company to exceed $20 million in revenue and forge significant partnerships.

In today’s episode, we’re going deep into the impact of real-life stories, the importance of family in business, and the role everyone plays in advancing safety and equity in the workplace. Rajia will share invaluable advice for fellow entrepreneurs and ask for the support that invisaWear needs to continue its vital work.

So, get ready to be moved and motivated as we dive into Rajia’s incredible story and the lessons we can all learn about turning challenges into triumphs.
