Anna Griffin
Anna Griffin will be speaking on Sun. Jan. 24 at 3:30pm
Anna Griffin is the Creator and Editor In Chief of Coco Eco Magazine. Born and raised just outside of London, England, she moved to LA 10 years ago to pursue a career in journalism and broadcasting, and the American pursuit of life, love, and liberty. Having traveled extensively at a young age due to her parents’ geographical maneuvers, Anna developed a deep appreciation of the world around her, and a huge reverence for Planet Earth. Upon arriving in Los Angeles, she became an active advocate of animal welfare and environmental awareness, whilst finding herself as a red-carpet correspondent interviewing stars including Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee, and George Lucas. Not satisfied with Hollywood, pop culture or celebrity, Anna was actively called to action in the fight against global warming, and upon investigating a way to live life as she knew it whilst being a responsible citizen, found no place to call her own. Contemplating the burgeoning environmental crisis, whilst being a conscious fashionista, and hearing the growing call from like-minded women, Coco Eco Magazine was born. Anna turned away from the Hollywood spotlight and focused her attention to providing a legitimate destination where savvy, stylish, forward-thinking women could find the answers to living the ultimate green life, not compromising style or glamour, whilst still maintaining environmental stewardship and social responsibility. For kicks, Anna still occasionally moonlights as a green carpet reporter for Ecorazzi!
