Welcome to The Conversations - with Jason Campbell and Henrietta Gallina. We started our DIY podcast as a means to document our frequent conversations about fashion and culture. We're hoping to develop and evolve our outlook throughout this process and speak to others who can help to inform and push our conversations forward. We're just two friends with a lot opinions and we hope you enjoy and participate in The Conversations.

On this episode we’re happy to be joined by talented writer, designer Kibwe Chase-Marshall to talk about the race issues in fashion, namely the lack of black people in Creative / Design Directors and executive / decision making / gate-keeping roles. We also discuss some steps to reconciling them. The problems are so nuanced and complex and so are the solutions - but we all need to keep having the conversation and do the work.
It’s well worth reading Kibwe’s Business of Fashion op-ed that sparked our conversation and my piece that was partially inspired by it:
Why Aren't There More Black Designers?
Fashion Has a Black People Problem
Follow Kibwe on Instagram (@ByAnySeamsNecessary), his campaign #BreakSilenceBreakCeilings and take the time to sign his petition to - End Employment Discrimination Against Black Designers, here:

We really hope you enjoy this episode - let’s be a part of the solution!
Don’t forget to give us 5 starts pleeeeeease :)
