Overview

Gina's Ink, Incorporated

Gina’s Ink, Incorporated is an innovative social business creating mission-driven media and entertainment to empower children domestically and around the world.

After working in the film industry for 12 years, Gina Otto, author, children's advocate and social entrepreneur, became disheartened by the damage that mainstream media was having on the hearts, minds and self-perceptions of America’s girls. In an effort to reach tween- and teen-aged girls as quickly as possible - with an alternate message - Gina wrote a modern-day fairytale called Cassandra’s Angel, which is about the stories we are given from the people in our lives about who they think we are...and then dropping those stories so that we can become who we came here to be.

From one little independently published book being distributed out of a basement in Denver, CO, Gina, Founder/CEO, and her team have since created a global movement of girls finding their light and finding their voices, ready and determined to change the world for the better in a lasting way.

At the request of mothers everywhere, Gina expanded the platform to include boys. The companies message bridges culture, gender, age, and religion and is now garnering attention from members of the United Nations, the U.S. Congress, several corporations, Girl Scouts of the USA, and other non-profits committed to making a significant social impact.

Partnering with visionaries and luminaries across the non-profit, business and entertainment industries, Gina’s Ink, Inc. has created a platform called the Change My World Now Initiative, which engages, educates and empowers American children, facilitating their ability to reach out and in turn, empower children in countries around the world to move beyond their present circumstances and to find the independence and dignity that education can provide. The Change My World Now Initiative transforms the conversation that children are having with themselves, their peers, their parents and their community. Instilling the ideas of self-reliance, self-worth, tolerance, and self-acceptance early in life will have a radical effect on children, their future, and their circles of influence, creating a cadre of young leaders, truly Changing the World One Bright Light at a Time.
