Welcome to Season 2, Episode 7 of the Roots Down Podcast!
What’s the true cost of what we wear—and how can fashion become a tool for climate justice? In this episode of Roots Down: A Regenerative AF Podcast, host Jamie Rosenthal sits down with Tanjuria Willis, founder of Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week, to unravel the impact of fast fashion on our health, environment, and future.
From toxic chemicals in textiles to the waste crisis clogging landfills, Tanjuria shares how the fashion industry fuels environmental injustice—and how she’s creating space for a new narrative rooted in style, sustainability, and equity. Jamie and Tanjuria explore how community-driven events, circular design, and a little glam can regenerate not just wardrobes, but entire cities.
💡 The Roots Down Podcast is all about scaling up urban sustainability with bold ideas, real-world action, and a whole lot of fun. If you care about making cities greener, smarter, and more regenerative, this episode is for you.
