What is MEAS; pronounce 'me'

MEAS means Gold in the Cambodian language, Khmer. The founder, Erin Roddy,  chose this name for the brand after a 2 week trip through Cambodia & Thailand with a non-profit organization that helped rescue young girls from sex trafficking. While there she learned of an ancient Cambodian proverb which translated to say, "Men are gold, women are white linen.” Meaning that once a woman is "dirtied" she can never be cleaned. However, if a man is "dirtied", he can be shined like new. As Erin interacted with the many young girls on this trip, she knew these young ladies had been through so much pain & suffering, however when playing a simple board game with them, the joy, laughter & hope in their eyes reminded her how strong a woman really is. She is MEAS.
