A Conversation with Aja Barber

FABSCRAP’S BOOK CLUB!

This afternoon the FABSCRAP community had the amazing opportunity to hear from and speak with the incredible Aja Barber! Some might know her work as an author, others her advocacy, or consultancy work, but I cannot recommend her Instagram presence enough, too!

Self described, “writer first and foremost, but with the subject matter that I cover, I think there does come a fair amount of advocacy”, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

If you ask me - throw on your headphones and listen to this while you go for a walk, organize your closet, or mend that rip in your pants.

Topics we cover include:

• The “affordability” and/or “accessibility” of fast fashion

• Responsibility of consumption

• Mental health’s relationship to consumption

• Aja’s “No Presents Rule”

• Our own surprise when we evaluate all the ‘stuff’ we have

• Implications of social media, check-out analytics, and shopping local

• & more!
