Today is the last day of Fashion Revolution week. 5 years ago Rana Plaza, a garment factory in Bangladesh, collapsed killing 1,135 people. It became the biggest industrial accident the country has ever seen and drew the attention of the world to the inhumane treatment of garment workers and the painful price that is paid for our clothing. No one should ever die for fashion. . Fashion revolution means transparency in the production of garments. It means paying people fairly and giving them opportunities to live empowered lives. It isn’t just an empowering logo on a T-shirt. It comes from understanding that true empowerment can only exist if it’s for everybody not only for the people who wear the clothes. . That’s why during Fashion Revolution week we ask brands that we love and wear: who made our clothes? What are their names? Were they treated fairly? Did they have a voice and were they heard? What are their hopes and their dreams? We need to know. .

“If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India!” ~ Romaine Rolland . My postcard from India🌸
We are back to travelling! This time it is Delhi, where Looking for Heroes' next project has its heart. . A few months back my colleague handed me a print out that was left by the printer at work. She thought it was mine and even though it wasn't I accepted the message and stuck it to the wall by my desk. The message says: Namaste My soul honors your soul. I honor the place in you where the entire Universe resides. I honor the light, love, truth, beauty and peace within you, because it is also within me. In sharing these things we are united, we are the same, we are one. . As I am writing this message we are travelling in India were we use namaste as a greeting. The greeting that acknowledges that we are the same, that we are one, that we are united. . Photo by @_kevinberry_

I also share the backstage of this photoshoot and some of my poems. You can catch me on their Instagram Stories now! . Thank you @halfthestory and @livinlikelarz for having me!
What do you think is the most important thing Bajan people can share with the world? “Joy.” ~ Sandra, 54 years old . #WHPsmile
Last in the series of poems, is Freedom. . When you embrace your pain, and you choose to walk along its side, as you would with a loved one, that is, my friend, when you discover freedom. . Have a great Sunday everyone🌟
