Creating an ethical fashion brand - Lilou interviews Jyoti from WE'AR
It is always good to remember where we came from - and that is precisely what WE'AR founder Jyoti Morningstar did during an interview with video-blogger Lilou Macé. At this year’s Bali Spirit Festival, Lilou and Jyoti talked about the art of creating a happy, healthy and fulfilling life and about how WE'AR came about as a social enterprise.
Community Yoga at The Ivy Studio
It's almost been two years since the opening of Mondays Wholefoods Eatery in the unique & character rich Auckland suburb of Kingsland. Very early on, the vision for Mondays was not only an eatery, but a multipurpose space that fostered community and wellness. Like most good things in life, Ivy Studio evolved organically and collectively.
Why I will be sleeping outside in the middle of winter
I’ll be honest, I dislike the cold immensely. I am of pacific descent, and often think my Niuean roots mean that I should probably be living somewhere warm and sunny perpetually. Co workers and housemates will attest to my need to have the heater on, and at least 3 layers when it gets cold so I would normally be less than excited about braving the outdoor cold for an hour let alone for an entire night.
However some of us don’t have a choice.
WE’AR HQ is based in Auckland , a vibrant harbor city with beautiful parks, boutique shopping and serene spaces like Wynyard quarter and Britomart! It’s a growing city, and as the population grows the issue of homelessness will increase too. It’s not a sexy issue, which is probably why it doesn’t get talked about as often as other city issues…
“Stereotypes would try to restrict the image of a homeless person to a certain sex or age however, homelessness does not discriminate. Men, women and children are all represented by Auckland’s current homeless population. They are an immensely vulnerable segment of society. These individuals deserve a compassionate and committed response.” - lifewise
The great thing is that just down the road from WE’AR HQ in the K road precinct is Lifewise trust; a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing effective, long-term solutions to homelessness. Every year Lifewise run “the big sleep out” a night where influential New Zealanders leave the cosy comfort of their homes, forgo their creature comforts for a night of rough sleeping as a way of making a stand against homelessness. Along with awareness, each of the “big sleep out” participants aim to raise money for the work Lifewise do in the community. Thisyear, I will be amongst them!
I’ll be joining other ethically minded creatures like PippaCoom and Jacinda Adern and business leaders like Michael Goss of 2 degrees. I am excited, and nervous!
WE’AR holds the ideals of sustainable business, ethical production and care for our community highly. These values underpin a lot of what happens here at WE’AR from supporting the guys of Whare Toa to our use of plant dye, and our commitment to organics. So it seems only fair that I put my money where my mouth is so to speak! You can sponsor me by simply clicking a link, so easy!
