Por que la palabra, "inclusivity" continues to be just a buzzword?

In this episode, I am joined by Heather Reese and we're calling out la industria for continuing to exclude brown, fat, disabled and non-forming bodies, while still profiting off our culture and trends.

Heather breaks down the truth behind the illusion of body posivity and how Eurocentric standards still dominate the runway and the racks.
