I hope you are already familiar with Aja Barber and her work but if you're not buckle up. I was prepared for Aja to be unfathomably smart, and informative but she's also very funny and easy to talk to. Her book Consumed is a super informative, surprisingly easy read for such dense material and the planets aligned to let Aja and I have a conversation during Earth Month. We cover a lot of ground today discussing fast fashion, ways to challenge our consumption and some of the more insidious aspects of the fashion industry and how it relates back to colonialism. Thanks to Aja being so generous with her time we chatted it UP so I broke our recording into two episodes because I didn't want you to miss anything and wanted to keep it digestible. (Control freak? Moi? Neverrrrrrr.) I hope you enjoy Part 1 this week and rethink any future Shein purchases moving ahead :)
