Are you an outfit repeater or do you not use a washing machine? 

In this episode we tackle the importance of balancing people, profit and planet as a business as well as the meaning of sustainable and ethical fashion all the way from the production to distribution process. 

With our guest speakers, Alyssa Lagon of Tela Manila, a homegrown sustainable fashion brand with the first certified recycled zippers in the country, and Mia Azurin of Malaya Thrift, an Instagram thrift store of curated pieces, and FASH Ateneo, a student organization which advocates for sustainability and conscious consumption, we were able to have meaningful conversations on the rising trend of thrift shopping and reasons why sustainable and ethical fashion, or rather, slow fashion, is more expensive than fast fashion.

"The secret is in the soil! 

In this episode we explore our relationship with nature & restoring our connection with the Earth through regenerative agriculture. 

We were able to hold meaningful conversations with Charlene Tan, the founder of Good Food Community, an alternative food system based on ethical and ecological farming that transforms consumers into co-producers, and Karla Delgado, the director of Kai Farms. Kai Farms manifests an abundance of wellness for all through healing retreats, permaculture farming, seed saving, food forest workshops and more! 

Join us by getting to know the incredible stories behind the revolutionary work of these social enterprises and carve out a hopeful future towards regenerative agriculture!
