In this episode, I chat with Megan Ramwa, the founder and CEO of Sonder Toronto, a fashion-tech company that encompasses a sustainable solution to the growing amount of textile waste affecting Canadian landfills.
The idea for Sonder came from personal experience. Megan was a student and was looking for affordable outfit options to wear to an awards ceremony. She couldn't find suitable options or the clothing was only meant for weddings.
There is a huge sustainability issue with clothing. Sonder is all about solving a problem and tackling an environmental issue.
The Sonder team is launching an Early Adopters program to have users test out the service and provide feedback. Users will have membership perks such as having access to the first set of clothing available.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
