"Maredia and Jin became best friends while planning to attend a One Direction concert together one summer. Now they run a serious business from their respective schools."

"A love of politics and pop culture led these friends to create 1950 Collective, a brand that celebrates diverse interests."

"The project has not only turned into a business, it’s helping those in need. 1950 Collective pumps several thousands of dollars into a chosen social justice organization every month."
