TELL THE WORLD WHY

Often times we'll be extra careful to examine what we buy beforehand because we want personal assurance of the quality, but what if we expected more from our clothes? What if we expected that not only are we going to benefit from the utility and enjoyment each piece brings us, but that it did not come at the expense of another person's quality of life. While it's saddening that we even have to ask that question, with the way the fast fashion industry currently operates, it's one we must continue to ask on a regular basis. + - Non-profits like B Lab (@bcorporation) and the Fair Trade Federation (@ftfederation) have made it their mission to help consumers make informed buying choices, so be sure to take advantage of their resources! + #fashionrevolution #ethicalfashion #endslavery #endhumantrafficking #untilallarefree #endit

In honor of #blackhistorymonth, we want to share the story of Katherine Johnson. While Johnson turned 100 in August, we are celebrating her successes present and past. Johnson worked as a “human calculator” for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley location. She was also the first woman from the Flight Research Division to be included as an author on a research report. +As a part of her work, Johnson provided equations, calculations, and reports for lecture series, Project Apollo’s Lunar Lander, and the Space Shuttle. In 1961, Johnson planned the trajectory analysis for the Freedom 7, the United States’ first human spaceflight. When computers began arising, astronauts such as John Glenn continued to trust Johnson’s calculations. While Johnson finished her career at NASA in 1986, she was awarded the Medal of Freedom in 2015 as a leading example for African-American women in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). In fall 2019, Johnson will be published in a new way with the release of her autobiography, “Reaching for the Moon.” +The story of Katherine Johnson shows us the power of women in all fields. We are encouraged by her work that has lead to the empowerment of women. #dressember #itsbiggerthanadress #untilallarefree #blackhistory #blackhistorymatters

Part of being an advocate is realizing that hope is the most powerful thing we have, and it means we must always work towards freedom and justice. We do this because we have hope and believe that it will truly make a difference.
"Every time I put on a dress, this rings in my head. Freedom wins! I am grateful to Dressember for the work that they are doing to end human trafficking. I am also grateful to Dressember for making me feel powerful and capable in a symbol that has not always meant freedom." + 📸: @caseyscellar + #dressemberreflections #dressember #endslavery #endhumantrafficking #itsbiggerthanadress

"I believe that our survival on planet earth necessitates the need for women to be equally represented in and key participants in all aspects of human life." - Carole Murphy, founder of @purse4thepeople and Gratitude 4 the Goddess + Read more about how Murphy is cultivating empowerment and gratitude on the Dressember blog! + #womenempowerment #dressember #itsbiggerthanadress #untilallarefree #endhumantrafficking
Today we honor Tarana Burke (@taranajaneen). An activist, Burke is the founder of the “Me Too” movement. In 2017, the movement became a global phenomenon that continues to raise awareness about sexual assault, abuse, and harassment in today’s society. + Sexually assaulted as a child and teenager, Burke has used her experiences to make a positive impact on girls who endure extreme hardships. She worked with survivors of sexual violence which led her to create the nonprofit “Just Be” and later the Me Too movement. As Burke said in an interview with CNN, “On one side, [“me too” is] a bold declarative statement that 'I'm not ashamed' and 'I'm not alone.' On the other side, it's a statement from survivor to survivor that says, 'I see you, I hear you, I understand you and I'm here for you or I get it.’" + #dressember #blackhistorymatters #blackhistorymonth #endhumantrafficking #endabuse #endassault
