Ep. 33 Why Inclusion Starts with What Our Kids Wear — with Benny Bee Founder Elicen Renz
As a parent, have you ever looked at your child and wished the world would see them for who they are — especially if they have a disability or delay? Have you ever felt the ache of wanting them to feel fully included, only to realize the simplest things, like clothing, can make them feel different?
Imagine a world where every child is celebrated exactly as they are — where even what they wear gives them confidence, dignity, and joy.
Today’s guest is building that world. Elicen Renz is the founder of Benny Bee, an adaptive clothing brand designed to empower every kind of child. At Benny Bee, the mission is simple yet powerful: to honor all abilities and remind the world that no one is defined by their difficulties or delays.
Elicen’s journey to building this brand is rooted in heart, grit, and a vision for inclusivity that goes far beyond fashion. What started as a response to a need has become a movement thaat’s giving kids confidence and giving parents hope.
In this conversation, we’ll dive into Elicen’s personal story, the why behind Benny Bee, the challenges of starting something so unique, and her vision for a future where every child feels seen, valued, and celebrated.
