I am an entrepreneur\nbased in Los Angeles and supporting my daughter in the launch of HERA.\nHere's some information in her own words, and answers to your questions are\nbelow...My WhatsApp is +1 310 346 7071.\n\n>>\nMy observation is that with clean sports bras, they are purely for utility,\nwithout consideration of fashion and style. Teenage girls and young women\nwear their workout clothes not only for activity but also for the\n\"aesthetic look,\" without realizing that most of what they're wearing\ncontains harmful chemicals and dyes that leak into their skin through heat,\nmovement, and moisture, and cause disruption in their hormones and\nendocrine system.\n\nThere's an underserved market for safe, yet fashionable, bras.\n\nThe major players are making stylish clothes that have toxic chemicals, but\nthe clean brands are completely missing the fashion aspect. My vision is to\ncreate a brand of a clean first layer, to start, that is both stylish\n*and* safe.\nCool *and* healthy. HERA's aim is to make clothing that allows working out\nto be truly beneficial, without causing potential health and fertility\neffects.\n\nHera, the Greek goddess and protector of women, guides us in our mission to\ngive women a healthy clothing option.\n\nHERA will start a social media movement about the potential harmful effects\nof what's in clothing, as many girls and young women have no idea about the\ndangers of what they're wearing. This is personal to me as both my mom and\nmy grandmother are breast cancer survivors. So, as part of the next\ngeneration, I feel responsible to take action into my own hands and aid the\nrecovery of fertility and cancer rates in young women.\n>>\n\nOn Thu, Feb 12, 2026 at 8:03\u202fAM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Ben, thank you for your interest in working with us.\n>\n> It's great that you will be in our area.
