The New Activist

Blythe Hill is a creative, fashionable, and driven entrepreneur who is leading a global movement. Every year, the organization that she founded, Dressember, raises millions of dollars to end human trafficking - just by encouraging people to wear "a uniform."

On this episode, Eddie and Blythe talk honestly about the road that brought her to Dressember, and why she's so passionate about all of us wearing dresses (or ties).
