This week I sat down with Sascha Driver, the digital content creator for Hits Radio, to discuss gender and race diversity within the music industry.

We also discussed the importance of a diverse fashion industry, and why people should follow the art (as opposed to the culture) of fashion.

In this weeks episode I had an enlightening conversation with Sophie Anderson. Sophie merges her passion for the topic of body image, and fashion, to spread messages of body acceptance across her social media platforms. We opened up about our own raw experiences, and got curious on topics including diet and fitness culture, why we fixate on body image, and we also offered some advice on what to do when you're having a 'fat day'.
