A movement not a moment: a closer look at some anti-racism resources, uncomfortable conversations & the problem with the fashion industry...

By Alice Catherine & Sophia Rosemary

This week we have an open and honest chat about the past few weeks, what it truly means to be anti-racist, and how we plan to learn and unlearn going forward. We discuss some of the valuable resources we have been consuming since our last episode, and unpick the urgent changes that need to be made within the fashion industry. We also discuss the importance of recognising that real social change has to stem from sustainable energy in order for us to progress long term. This is a 'movement not a moment'. Black lives always matter and we must be prepared to commit to the lifelong work ahead...
