Fashion Revolution through a feminist and environmental lens
<p>In this episode, Sofiia talks to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tena-lavrencic-profile/overlay/about-this-profile/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tena Lavrenčić</a>, an Ethical Fashion Advocate and a senior Social Media Expert with the European Commission. Some people might know her by Thinking Threads, as that is the name she uses online. Tena spends most of her time thinking about sustainable as well as ethical fashion and that is what this episode is about. Tena is also one of the Directors with the Fashion Revolution Belgium, Belgian branch of the biggest global activism movement in fashion. Tena was born in a Bosnian household, in Croatia, in the middle of the war, and those experiences have forever affected her sense of justice. While Tena was always passionate about human rights movement, fashion was not part of her advocacy work until she met a survivor of child labour and modern slavery. Tena shares many facts and stories of the fashion industry - from the Rana Plaza collapse to why every April now you can observe many fashion activists events happening around the world. Is fashion an environmental, gendered and a security issue? - to answer this question, listen to the episode. </p><br><p>If you want to connect to Tena, check out her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thinking.threads?igsh=cnRkb3Jld2huNjQ5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tena-lavrencic-profile/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> account. </p><br><p>Relevant links and recommendations:</p><p><a href="https://vogueadria.com/why-is-there-no-winner-in-a-vegan-and-real-leather-race/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Why is there no winner in a "vegan" vs. real leather race?</a> - Tena’s article for Vogue</p><p>Fashion activist Tena Lavrencic: <a href="https://www.bruzz.be/en/videoreeks/bruzz-international-op-zondag/video-fashion-activist-tena-lavrencic-if-i-bought-fast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">'If I bought fast fashion, my style would be boring'</a></p><p>Learn more about Tena and <a href="https://www.thinking-threads.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Thinking Threads</a></p><p>Learn more about <a href="https://linktr.ee/FashionRevolutionBelgium" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fashion Revolution Belgium </a></p><br><p>For more on VONA:</p><p>Sign up for our monthly Newsletter at <a href="http://www.vona.international" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.VONA.international</a></p><p>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vona.international/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@vona.international</a></p><p>Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/VONA_int" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@VONA_int</a></p><p>LinkedIn <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/vonainternational" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">VONA International</a></p><br><p>Podcast hosted by <a href="https://bit.ly/sshevchukpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sofiia Shevchuk</a></p><p>Visuals and podcast production by <a href="https://bit.ly/tvpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tamas Viski</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

From Burnout to Founding The Nine, Women's Club
<p>In this episode, Sofiia talks to Georgia Brooks, a passionate advocate for women’s rights working for greater gender equality and inclusion. Georgia currently is based in Brussels, with professional experience throughout Europe and the Middle East. Most people know Georgia as a founder of <a href="https://thenine.be" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Nine</a>, Belgium’s first female membership club. Fairly so, as The Nine brought a space for women in Brussels, that this city has not yet seen before. As Georgia describes The Nine activities and events herself: “from professional workshops, art exhibitions to drag queen shows - to have a little bit of fun because sometimes, I think, Brussels could be very, very serious”. </p><br><p>However, besides The Nine, Georgia also runs a non-profit <a href="https://www.fempowerinitiative.org/about.cfm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fempower Initiative</a>, dedicated to improving the lives of girls and young women living in disadvantaged areas in the Middle East. More about Georgia, her work, projects and life… you can learn by listening to this episode. </p><br><p>If you want to connect to Georgia, check out her <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiamouradbrooks/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> account. </p><br><p>Relevant links and recommendations:</p><p><a href="https://www.politico.eu/list/power-40-brussels-class-of-2023/georgia-brooks/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Georgia Brooks: Power 40 — Brussels class of 2023</a></p><p>Learn more about <a href="https://thenine.be/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Nine</a></p><p>Lear more about <a href="https://www.fempowerinitiative.org/about.cfm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fempower Initiative</a></p><br><p>For more on VONA:</p><p>Sign up for our monthly Newsletter at <a href="http://www.vona.international/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.VONA.international</a></p><p>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vona.international/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@vona.international</a></p><p>Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/VONA_int" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@VONA_int</a></p><p>LinkedIn <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/vonainternational" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">VONA International</a></p><br><p>Podcast hosted by <a href="https://bit.ly/sshevchukpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sofiia Shevchuk</a></p><p>Visuals and podcast production by <a href="https://bit.ly/tvpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tamas Viski</a></p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
