Today, I want to take time out to acknowledge one of the few, cutting edge #planetfirst advocates I engage with online regularly who walks the talk and is worthy of a Gretzky. The individual I would like to praise is Simi D the leader of rescue clothing company https://okimmiofficial.com/ Rationale:
- Simi D is passionate 24/7/365 about #planetfirst – she advocates earth day is every day, accordingly warrants being considered daily. Consequently, she delivers/shares relevant content with her tribe daily regarding her sustainable process of regenerating clothing by piecing and shaping from the wasteful/toxic global fashion industry which produces an estimated 100 billion units per year.
- She is more than the typical c’est moi social media broadcaster by engaging as well as enlisting others (building community) to support sustainable #planetfirst choosing wherever possible. Example: She is always forwarding to me articles about the transformation of the global food system given my area of expertise.
Disclaimer: I am biased given I have been connected to Simi D for close to a year now. To me her process is evolving beyond couture and transforming into an ecological art form since she is passionate 24/7/365 about #planetfirst. Simi D is authentic, walks the talk, and understands:
