Hello everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the DREAM B.I.G podcast.  In today's episode, we welcome our guest, Dr. Jamie Keaton Jones.  Dr. Jones is a professor in the online Masters of Social Work program at Fordham University and West Virginia University. Her background is in mental health treatment, social work, and environmental justice, among others. She previously taught at Hood College in Frederick, Maryland, within the Sociology and Social Work Department. While there, she taught the first Environmental Justice and Social Work course. She also worked with a variety of mental health practices, including starting her own practice in Manhattan before moving to Washington, DC.

We are so honored to have her as our guest. In this episode, we discuss various topics centered on environmental issues such as the impacts of consumerism, fast fashion and more! This is one of our longer episodes, but there are so many gems in this; you do not want to miss this!!
