We loved having you at iAccelerate today Nina Gbor! Thank you for sharing your village origin stories. While the challenges are huge, we were inspired by your examples of #circulareconomy and #sustainability innovation happening in Australia and overseas @theausinstitute @uow

The person who talks the most is the most likely to become the leader.

Regardless of intelligence and expertise, groups elevate those who command the most airtime.

If we stop shipping fashion waste to the global South, we'll be confronted with the scope of our overconsumption & global inequalities. It's all part of postcolonial, neoliberal and imperialst systems. Linton Besser and ABC News doc gave an good case study.
