Wear Your Values – A Journey with Purpose
I kicked off day 6 of the Ethical Brands for Fashion Revolution event with an introduction to ‘Wearing Your Values’. Since starting Roberta Style Lee back in 2015, a lot has changed in the fashion world. Ethical fashion is not such a niche anymore and people are more aware of the fashion industry’s dark side …
Why is Fashion Activism Important?
For this year’s Ethical Brands for Fashion Revolution event, I had the pleasure of hosting an expert panel with Alice Wilby and Bel Jacobs, discussing all-things fashion activism in support of Fashion Revolution week.

Inside-Out Empowerment for women
The eternal pursuit of self-improvement is something we are all programmed to do. How that looks for each of us is different though. Empowerment isn’t just for the select few, its for all of us. That’s why I’m passionate about empowering women from the inside -out. If I asked you what will you do …
Wear Your Values – A journey with purpose
I’ve been absent on social media, as I’m sure you noticed. My blogging has been sparse at best. Why? because I’ve needed time to go back to some important pieces of work around my purpose, vision and values. So I didn’t want to start posting again until I was clear about where I want to …
