On today’s show, we’re chatting with Dr. Kimberly McGlonn, an award-winning social entrepreneur, working at the intersections of social justice and environmentalism. You might know her as the founder & CEO of Grant Blvd, and now Blk Ivy, which is a Philadelphia-based secondhand store that specializes in cultural artifacts celebrating the aesthetics and work of the Civil Rights movement.
Her work has been featured by Fast Company, Inc Magazine, Essence, and has been funded by Beyonce’s BeyGood Foundation. In 2022 she was a recipient of the Visa’s “She’s Next in Fashion Award” and the Black Enterprise “Business Disruptor of the Year” award, and ultimately, her goal is to inspire others to see the power of fashion as and for activism.
This episode was indeed inspiring – and rich with history! – and Kimberly even gave us a little preview into her latest book. I’ll let her tell you the whole story. I think you’re gonna love it – so let’s dive right in!
