21. Addressing the Lack of Diversity in the Fashion Industry - a podcast by Kristina Ang

Even before the death of George Floyd, racism and racial injustice has been a major part of our society. In speaking up about these issues, it's not surprising that the fashion industry is included in this discussion as it's exploitation of black culture on the runways and in editorials has been merely put under the term of "diversity". Tune into this week's episode where I delve further into the real misgivings of the fashion industry and what we, as the fashion community, can do In this regard.
