Description

How can we stop funnelling money into billionaires pockets? What is the link between racism, colonialism and our current fashion industry? And How can we really move beyond performative allyship?
Big questions that we are deep diving into with Aja Barber, writer, stylist, consultant, Instagram influencer, working at the intersection of sustainability and fashion.
In this episode, we talk about being raised in a consumerist society and breaking free, why we need to shift the system of power and money, creating a more inclusive fashion industry, and how to do the work to move beyond performative actions and truly be an ally.
It’s time to live wide awake.
