For this episode of Sustainably LB, I got to share space with Heather Snowden, Sustainable Fashion Journalist and Editor, Remake Ambassador and Brand Ambassador at Give Your Best UK. Her particular focus in the sustainability realm is human rights. After the first time I met Heather, I was enchanted by her knowledge and the way she spoke with such eloquence when discussing tough issues. To share this knowledge in a way that doesn’t come off as elitist is a gift! Because, so often, in the sustainable community, these narratives can come off as snooty and entitled.

I am so honored that I got the chance to sit with Heather and talk about the ins and outs of the industry we hold so dear while maintaining the hope that it can do better.

Show Notes:

• The privilege of being able to quit
• We are conditioned to be individualist
• Clothing is a human right
• Giving people the space to change
• There are a lot of people that care

For this episode of Sustainably LB, I got to share space with Maria Corpuz Owner of Bel Merch and Design and Host of Riverside Chats. This conversation has been a long time coming and I am so grateful that we finally got to sit and hold space around some many amazing topics. We cover so much in this episode! From taking the opportunity to turn a flawed system into a space for change to experiencing and learning into parts of your story that you might not have known existed.

I hope that you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed our conversation.

Show Notes:

• Turning a flawed system into an opportunity for change
• The connection of what your story means to you
• Finding a job that fits and pays the bill(s)
• The importance, history and art of tradition and culture
• The art of doing nothing

For this episode of Sustainably LB, I got to share space with Selina Sanders Slow Fashion Clothing Artist and Creator of her namesake brand, Selina Sanders. The entire time Selina was sharing her story and her experience in the fashion industry, I was spellbound. I mean, I was on the edge of my seat hanging on every word. And it isn’t because she shares things about the industry that I don’t know. But she shared her story in such a way that reminded me that you can always change the narrative and life has a funny way of bringing you right where you need to be. Even if you seemingly lose your way.

I am so honored that I got the chance to sit with Selina and talk about the ins and outs of the industry we hold dear and what really matters in this life.

I hope that you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed our conversation.

Show Notes:

• Change doesn't happen overnight
• Disputing the idea of what fashion and dressing is about
• A clear(er) picture of the result of our choices
• Being an artist, in any capacity, is about sharing your art
• Determining your own measurement of success
