This week on the Impact Fashion Podcast, Chidubem chats with Samata Pattinson, CEO of Red Carpet Green Fashion.

RCGD is women-led global change-making organisation that brings sustainability to the forefront of the fashion and apparel industry, she’s fighting to fix the waste and inequality behind our clothes.

Samata shares the details of how RCGD brings sustainable fashion to the red carpet. She talks about the importance of including joy in the sustainable fashion conversation, the difference between African fashion and African American fashion and how language affects how we think (Is it fashion or clothing)
