About Us

Sustainable Fashion Talks goes beyond Fashion, we are an inclusive platform that onboards individuals by showcasing personal imperfect transition through events, forums, collaborations, and workshops designed to nurture awareness and inspire action towards climate change. We also cast a spotlight on organizations and brands that align with environmental stewardship.

This is a space of learning and growth, where education flows without judgment and where every conversation leads to action which brings us closer to a more sustainable planet.

Sustainable Fashion Talks was founded by Belinda, a passionate advocate for slow fashion and Responsible Travel. With a deep commitment to driving positive change within the fashion industry, Belinda recognized the need for open and engaging discussions around sustainable fashion practices. Inspired by her own journey towards a more conscious and ethical approach to fashion, she created Sustainable Fashion Talks as a platform to educate, inspire, and empower individuals to make informed choices that align with their values. Through these talks, ECO FASHION WEEK AFRICA was born.

The core mission of Sustainable Fashion Talks is to shed light on the environmental and social impacts of fast fashion while promoting the principles of slow fashion. We believe that by embracing inclusivity through engaging talks, workshops, and collaborative initiatives, we can collectively reduce the negative effects associated with the fashion industry. We aim to educate audiences about the importance of sustainability, ethical sourcing, fair labor practices, and innovative solutions that can revolutionize the way we produce, consume, and value fashion.

BELINDA – FOUNDER

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

I am Belinda, a passionate champion of Sustainable Fashion and a promoter of mindful travel.

After watching THE UGLY TRUTH OF FAST FASHION by Hasan Minhaj and THE TRUE COST a documentary about the clothes we wear, I started doing my research on fast fashion industry which led me to doing further research on the negative environmental impact of the two things I love which is Fashion and Travel. I was appalled that something that brought me so much joy could cause great harm to the environment and bring pain to a fellow human being. Although I’ve garnered substantial insight, my journey of enlightenment continues.

I created Sustainable Fashion Talks as an inclusive and safe home for anyone who loves tasteful style, enjoys travel, and those committed to nurturing their mind, body, and spirit, all while minimizing our collective footprint on the earth and its many creatures.

This platform aims to inspire a shift towards sustainable fashion and travel by sharing a genuine and feasible journey toward consumption with conscience through events, collaborations, workshops, and dialogues. The goal is to show that it’s okay to take baby steps towards a more conscious lifestyle because no one adopts a fully sustainable lifestyle overnight.

As I continue to deepen my understanding of climate change and explore the critical intersection of sustainability and human rights within fashion and travel industry, I invite you to enrich this dialogue. Should you have any educational materials or references, feel free to forward them to belinda@ecofashionweekafrica.com.

I am also the co-founder of Eco Fashion Week Africa.

Eco Fashion Week Africa is more than a celebration; it’s a mission. We dedicate this week to not only impart a lasting positive effect on our planet but also to illuminate minds, young and old, on the urgent matter of textile waste—through innovative workshops and multi-generational events designed to engage, involve, and transform.

Hugs to all.
