Banker-philanthropist Trina Liang-lin launches the inaugural World Food Future for Women conference this month to shine the spotlight on food nutrition issues. Grace Ma finds out more
From co-founding a platform for women bankers to pushing for stricter sex-trafficking laws and a day off for foreign domestic workers, Trina Liang-Lin has always been a passionate voice for the civic issues of the day.
Now, the managing director of boutique investment research consulting firm Temple bridge Investments wants to bring the importance of food nutrition to the fore through social enterprise Halo Health Asia (HHA), which she started last year with the mission of providing consumers access to accurate and timely food knowledge in order to make better food decisions at every stage in life.
“I experienced the family impact of poor health as a child when both my grandmother and mother passed away from ill health within the same year,” shares Trina. “My grandmother died of diabetes and my mother fought cancer a few times over a few years before she succumbed to it, so my childhood was very much spent in and out of hospitals.”
