    A big reality check - a chat with Emma Matthews, author of the book 'How to Quit Fast Fashion'

    The Fashion industry is one of the biggest polluters of our environment. With each new season comes a new fashion faze, producing more and more clothes which we wear once or twice and then stick at the back of our wardrobes. According to The State of Fashion, a report by McKinsey.com, Fashion accounts for 20% to 35% of microplastic flows in the oceans, along with 93% of brands surveyed on Fashion Checker, that are not paying their workers a living wage. I spoke to Emma Matthews, owner of sustainable sock company Socko and author of the book ‘How to quit fast fashion’. If you’re a fashion lover and care about the world you live in, you will probably want listen in to get some inspiration, as it’s time to start making some changes to your lifestyle.

    Building resilience - a chat with Dorsa Bayat, musician and mountaineer from Iran.

    Dorsa Boyat, a musician and mountaineer originally from Iran believes that the suppression she faced as a female growing has helped her to develop a stronger mindset and resilience. Being female can be tough, but it can be very different in another culture. For centuries, women and girls have been told what they can and can’t do. We now have freedom within western societies, however in countries like Iran, women and girls are still not given the same rights as their male counterparts. Ultimately, this act of control has given Dorsa the understanding of who she really wanted to become and helped her grow her self-belief. Whatever your background, you can become who you want to be, if you are willing to stand up and believe in yourself.
