This week on Start Somewhere I have the pleasure of speaking to Saja Elmishri. Saja is a freelance writer, activist and modest fashion expert, and focuses on the intersection of sustainability, retail, fashion and social justice.

Saja’s love for fashion started in Sweden, where she grew up and was encouraged to live independently and discover what she enjoyed doing. She pursued her passion for textiles and sewing and studied Textile Design in university, with a desire to use her creativity for purpose and not for profit. 

In this episode, we speak about modest fashion, why the idea that it’s only for Muslim women is wrong, and how Saja would make the fashion industry more inclusive. 

The ask: Whatever it is you want to solve in society, include the right people into the conversation.
