Welcome to Impact Edit, where we bring you the most powerful insights and golden nuggets from our impactful conversations with thought leaders and changemakers in the fashion industry.  We are revisiting a remarkable episode that left a lasting impression.
In this snippet from our original podcast episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Molly Rogers and Emma Clegg, the inspiring co-founders of JAM the label. Their journey began with a shared passion for occupational therapy and a deep empathy for young people with disabilities.
Molly and Emma recognized the challenges faced by individuals in wheelchairs when it came to finding fashionable and functional clothing. They refused to accept compromise and embarked on a mission to create inclusive fashion for young people with disabilities. Thus, JAM the label was born in 2019, named after two remarkable teenagers, Jack and Maddie.
With design features like magnetic closures, side-zip jackets, and pants tailored for seated comfort, JAM has redefined inclusivity in fashion. Starting with just one product, they have now expanded to partner with external retailers, including EveryHuman, Averee, and THE ICONIC.
Their dream? To become the number one inclusive fashion brand in Australia, ensuring that everyone, regardless of ability, can feel cool, proud, and stylish in their clothing. Molly and Emma's story is a testament to the transformative power of passion, empathy, and unwavering dedication.
As we revisit this episode, we encourage you to listen closely to the insights, strategies, and perspectives shared by these remarkable founders. Their wisdom is a true golden nugget that can spark new ideas, inspire change, and help you make a lasting impact in your business, with your team, and within your community.
