How can fashion be a force for good? Can business thrive while prioritizing people and the planet? Do you know what major brands do with clothes that are not bought or sold in their storefronts?

In this episode, our host, Hawah Kasat, sits down with Kerry Docherty, a lawyer, author, and Co-Founder / Chief Impact Officer of Faherty Brand, to discuss how ethical fashion, sustainability, and conscious capitalism can reshape the industry and the world. Kerry shares how her experiences in human rights shaped her approach to building a national business and brand that is unlike your average corporation.

Kerry shares insights on the environmental cost of fast fashion, the importance of native partnerships, the challenges of building a business that prioritizes both impact and profitability, as well as her forthcoming book, “The Selfish Wife,” exploring themes of personal growth, identity, and creative expression as essential components of a meaningful life.
