Joseph is an anti trafficking activist who believes in freeing others from a life of pain and bringing a voice to the voiceless. He participated in Dressember last year and posted every day as a way of sharing about Dressember (and all the ties he wore!). Male advocates are so important to our cause, showing that #realmendontbuygirls.

Our answer: It's easy to get discouraged when the people around you don't acknowledge what you're doing. Sometimes it takes you making the first move and starting the conversation. Here are a few tips and tricks to help:
1) Wear a pin!
2) Take any compliment on your outfit as an opportunity to start a conversation.
3) Tell your community ahead of time what you're doing then continue to remind them over social media and in person.

Remember that you're doing this for a good cause. Every conversation and every dollar raised is an important step toward a world without slavery. It might require you getting out of your comfort zone, but that's part of the challenge! Find more tips today on the blog!

WOMEN ARE SACRED 🌸

Did you know that 80% of garment workers are women? We left the @fairtradefashionshow feeling more motivated than ever to do our part to empower women through our style choices.
