Garments & Grit: Persistence in the World of Sustainable Fashion (w/ Maisa Mumtaz-Cassidy, Founder & CEO - Consciously)
Content warning: this episode contains graphic content. Maisa Mumtaz-Cassidy thought she was going to die. She's the Founder & CEO of Consciously, an ethically-sourced and sustainable fashion platform. Between an incredibly tense childbirth, starting a business in the grips of COVID, and contracting the virus herself, it wreaked havoc on her mind and body. But she managed to keep it all together. Being forced to walk such a winding path reminded Maisa of her own mother. Like her, she was an entrepreneur in the garment industry. And at just 26, she became a single mother of 3 after leaving an abusive marriage. This is an episode about determination, grit, and persistence. Maisa talks about the moments where she almost threw in the towel, the importance of buckling down on fair pay, and how the warmth of family keeps her striving forward.
