Welcome to this exclusive episode, I couldn't be more proud, inspired and excited to share this with you.
This Earth Day - 22nd June 2021 - I had the pleasure of teaming up with Model Mafia, Global Fashion Exchange and Selina Hotels to host a live panel event with such an incredible group of people. Delving Deep; The Intersections of Sustainability was our theme for the event, and the intention was to explore the overlooked aspects of climate change, such as how it affects all of us differently, segregation, ignorance towards smaller and more threatened and affected communities, how our actions in Western communities and large cities may not directly affect our livelihood but are destroying those of others', and much more. We discuss the importance of talking, listening and asking questions, and of storytelling in order to shed light on many overlooked threats of climate change.
Our panelists include Gelila Bekele, model and filmmaker; Jena Goldsack, model, marine conservationist in training; Veronica Pome'e, model, entrepreneur and activist; and Patrick Duffy, founder of Global Fashion Exchange. Each one brings a unique approach to the areas of sustainability that are most demanding and destructive right now, and together we discuss simple solutions, what needs to be done on a larger scale, and how we can move with more compassion and community at the heart of how we exist.
