Imagine putting on beautiful yet comfortable lingerie that has a motivational quote written inside of it, and it's made out of Peruvian Pima cotton, and it was manufactured by strong, loving women, many who are displaced mothers in need - well it's possible.

Who would have thought that wearing underwear could be so empowering in terms of helping the greater good? Colombian-born entrepreneur, Catalina Girald did.

Girald was a mergers and acquisitions attorney at a prestigious law firm for four years when she left to get an MBA from Stanford University in 2006. Yet there was a twist of fate - the sewing and design classes she took for fun while an attorney at NYC's Fashion Institute of Technology would actually lead to her next career, according to NBC Latino.

"In 2007, Girald founded one of the first venture-funded fashion sites for independent designers - Moxsie - which was sold to Fab.com two years later. And this year, she began an international web-driven lingerie brand called Naja."

The idea of her new business venture came to light when her own undergarments were "falling apart," she explained, saying she thought to herself, 'Why can't they be the same quality as in Colombia?'" She also thought why can't they be affordable as well?

Girald, who was born in Medellin, Colombia and is now based in San Francisco, created a brand (of undergarments that aim to flatter women 28 and older) that empowered women, making them feel good about themselves and the company.

"We train and employ single mothers in Medellin," Girald said about Naja. "Every purchase you make is a contribution to the employment to a single mother in a poor area. If you buy lingerie, you're helping women in need."

Naja teamed up with the Golondrinas Foundation -" an organization that educates children of poor families by also educating their parents."

"We partnered with them on their sewing program," Girald said. "When you order lingerie, you get a free wash bag and half of that amount goes to the training program, and the other half goes directly to the women we employ."

Naja's "Underwear for Hope" campaign has helped numerous women who have faced tragedy, including, one employee named Maria.

"I am one of the 'displaced' in Colombia-after gangs killed my sister, I was forced to leave our village with my three girls and my sister's two girls," she said. "The violence hit me very hard. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to die, but I couldn't because I had them to take care of. Now, I try to teach children about the violence and I have a group of about 50 kids. I cleaned up a little park around the corner and on weekends I turn it into an activity center-I teach the children to plant, we fry potato chips in kettles, and we draw."

Another strong employee named Zulli, has also been displaced from the Choco region of Colombia and thanks Naja for giving her a chance.

"I have four daughters, one of them is blind, deaf and mute and she has a developmental disability. Sewing has always been my dream. When I was about 7 or 8 years old, my aunt had one of those pedal operated sewing machines," she explained. "I really wanted her to teach me how to sew but she wouldn't let me touch it. So, I told her that one day I would own a sewing machine and have children. I would sew for my children and make them clothes and I would have my own business as a sewist. When we moved to Medellin, I applied for Project Fenix, a program for displaced persons that taught us business skills. They helped us finance a sewing machine. So now I have my sewing machine and I have my daughters. But, I have never sewed for anyone else. I'm not even sure what I'm about to get myself into, but I tell myself, 'Zulli, this has always been your dream.' So here I am. About to become a business woman. I am ready."
