I sit down with Keshet Starr, the CEO of ORA to discuss how her work has changed in the 2 years since #freechava. We discuss a specific case happening now in Bergen county, the line between tough negotiator and get refuser, how this all gets even tougher when you know the parties involved and how using a get as a bargaining chip leads to worse outcomes for everyone.

I sit down with accidental activist Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll to discuss her work. She shares how circumstances in her own life led to her realizing that someone needed to speak up for women and girls in Orthodoxy, the health consequences of hyper-modesty, and why its important to deal with internal community issues loudly even as antisemitism rises globally.

I sit down with historian and educator Blair Imani Ali to discuss her work. She shares how having parents as social workers affected her outlook on the world, what modesty in action means to her, what its like to have half a million eyeballs on you overnight and why calling out antisemitism in progressive spaces is so important.

I go solo to talk about what’s been happening behind the scenes here at Impact Fashion. I’ll share more details about The ADdress at American Dream Mall, why the processing of making The Piping Dress was a bit disappointing while also being very validating and how modest fashion is having a serious moment in the spotlight.

I talk with journalist Sara McElroy about her career. She shares how overwork and a toxic work environment led to an amount of stress her body couldn’t handle, changing her whole life only to end up in another toxic work environment, snd how both of those experiences led her to look more into why women especially were leaving their jobs and collecting their stories.
