  • Interview with Sandy Wong, Founder of Rugs by Roo - Her Journey of Becoming

    Sandy Wong, owner of Rugs by Roo, has an ambitious mission to end child labor in her lifetime. Her passion and dedication to this cause started when she watched the film “The Price of Free” with her daughter who was 4 years old at the time.  She saw children about the same age as her daughter being forced to work in factories making rugs day in and day out, without being able to go home and see their families.  She decided to join forces with an organization called GoodWeave International and truly bring this cause to light through her company and her initiatives.


    But Sandy’s purpose and the mission were not always this clear and it took a few pivots along the way.  Sandy worked the corporate ladder in her former career as an accountant.  She started and ended several businesses including her wedding photography business, Sandy Tam Photography, of six years and her stationery business, Pulp Function, of three years.  Along the way, she’s become a mom, fought mom-guilt like most mompreneurs, hit rock bottom financially, and made some costly mistakes where she learned and thrived from.


    Today, her wish is to not only bring to light the child labor issues that surround the rug industry, her ultimate wish is to inspire those around her to live a purpose-driven life that serves others.


    To learn more about how you can shop smarter as a consumer and support anti-child labor initiatives, visit GoodWeave International (https://goodweave.org/)

    The film that she highly recommends everyone to watch is called “The Price of Free” ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsqKz1hd_CY)
