JUST A GLIMPSE
As an “influencer”, writer and public speaker (with a resume of 10+ years of environmental justice advocacy & youth development) - I stylishly work at the intersections of sustainability and fashion to heal our relationship to the Earth and spark equitable change for economic wellbeing. As a pillar of visibility - I help create an accessible framework for how Black & Brown Indigenous communities absorb information, gain clarity & become more sustainably liberated while simultaneously working to dismantle toxic systems of white “supremacy” across environmentalism, climate change, eco fashion and zero waste movements.
4 R’s
The traditional 4 R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle & Rot) is part of an outdated model for consumer sustainability. The new standard for environmental stewardship demands a reworking of how we understand our responsibility in this space:
Redefine, Reclaim, Reimagine, Revolutionize
Brand
Partnership
Offerings:
Partnerships include keynote speaking engagements, social media campaigns, community-based initiatives & sustainable responsibility consulting.
My recent brand partnerships include Timberland, Levi’s, All Birds, Atelier Swarovski, Fair Trade USA, Rothy’s, Nature’s Path Organics, Lavazza, Eileen Fisher, National Forest Foundation, Fibershed, Conscious Chatter et al.
I creatively collaborate with small independent brands as well as global companies who exemplify or who are looking to better implement sustainability through an acronym I coined as A.I.R.E. :
A - Agency (cultural autonomy)
I - Inclusivity (collective consciousness of human rights)
R - Representation (Visual & textual visibility)
E - Equity ( Justice & economic eco-reparations)
