[4] Roberta Lee: strong women, style and sustainability

“Being Ethical for me, means proactively thinking about the impact my behaviour has on other people. It’s not always easy to do the ‘right’ thing but having clear values acts as my moral compass and it helps guide me towards making better decisions. “ - Roberta Lee   Today we talk all things ethical fashion, living your values and escaping the fast fashion trap with our guest Roberta Lee, founder of Roberta Style Lee and the Ethical Brand Directory. In 2015 Roberta made the conscious decision to step away from full-time corporate contracting and set up her own business. Roberta Style Lee is more than just speaking, coaching and styling. It’s about inspiring true confidence and empowering you to be the best version of yourself from the inside out – and doing it in a responsible way. It’s where ethics, sustainability, conscious consumerism, confidence and personal style all come together! Roberta has made the journey herself from fast fashion addict to sustainable living and in 2018 she organised the Going Green 2018 Online Summit to encourage people to make small swaps in their everyday lives to live greener. She believes it is possible to live life and do business ethically and sustainably without causing harm to other people, animals or the planet and today she shares her story.
