In Part 2, we continue our conversation with Teju Adisa-Farrar discussing how to make time and find balance as a passionate, multi-hyphenate social impact leader. We define and examine alternative economic models and the connection between food and fiber. Plus, we delve into her critical work supporting livelihoods and lifeways with the Black Fiber & Textile Network.
Teju is an environmental equity consultant, multifaceted facilitator, and was the inaugural Co-Managing Director of the Fibers Fund in 2023. She is the creator / host of the Black Material Geographies podcast, a 2022 honoree for the Conscious Fashion Campaign, and a member of the United Nations Conscious Fashion and Lifestyle Network—supporting work that aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals. Teju is an expert on alternatives with a focus on: communities’ design, sustainable textiles, creating regenerative fiber systems, and adopting climate resilient strategies for Black humans, Indigenous communities, and people of the global majority. Teju is a researcher, connector and multihyphenate living between New York and California.
