I go solo to talk about The Focus Dress and what it’s like to suddenly be staring at old photos of yourself in a much smaller body. I’ll also share a bit about my body acceptance journey, and my own hesitations around sizing up my wardrobe.

I sit down with Golide Miller, the founder of The Perfect Fit, to discuss her approach to fashion. She shares what it was like to grow up in a plus sized family and how she created her online plus sized boutique. Plus we ruminate on the state of inclusivity in modest fashion and discuss the frustration of brands stopping at size 24.

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.
