Season 2, Episode 9: Auntie and Diotima's Rachel Scott!

Hey bbs! This week host Marjon Carlos welcomes Diotima fashion designer Rachel Scott into her proverbial living room for a rich, inspiring, and hilarious ki about Scott’s incredible journey in the fashion industry. This past fall, Scott bested multi-million dollar fashion giants to become the first Black woman to ever win the CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year award–a testimony to how the Jamaican-born fashion world vet is decentering the European luxury narrative in her work with her innovative focus on handmade craftsmanship and crochet. With her signature authenticity, Scott reveals the challenges and triumphs of being an independent designer, the importance of representation, the evolving landscape of American fashion, and how Diotima remains rooted in her Jamaican culture. Credits:Host: Marjon Carlos @marjon_carlosProducer: Mbiye Kasonga @mbiye_kEditing: We The Cool @wethecoolstudioMusic: Preston Morris Neukirch @pres.morrisSocial: Diana Caro @carobydianaFollow Us On Social!Show IG: @yourfavoriteauntieshow Host IG: @marjon_carlosTikTok: @ yourfavoriteauntieshowWeb: www.yourfavoriteauntie.comLA WILDFIRE MUTUAL AIDES:Displaced Black Families GoFund Me Google DocResources for Artists Affected By the LA Fires: artsharela.org/fire-resourcesFree and Centralized Resource Forum: LAfires.iolovesyou.comAltadena GirlsAnti-Recidivism CoalitionDoc with more mutual aid resources: tiny.cc/malan-fireDonate Food with Instacart! WILDLIFE AND DISASTER RESOURCES AND ALERTSAPP: Watch DutySits: Listoscalifornia.orgwww.fira.ca.gov Hosted on Acast.
