In this episode of the Crossover Moments mini-series, Kim and her co-host, Dr. Divya Jyoti, are in conversation with Saqib Sohail, a mill leader in Responsible Business Projects from Pakistan. Saqib, who has an academic background, discusses his journey from perceiving sustainability as a global positive to raising questions about its actual beneficiaries. An encounter with local cotton farmers sparked this paradigm shift, leading him to emphasise the importance of sourcing solutions directly and redefining sustainability beyond mere certifications.
This episode is part of the ‘Crossover Moments’ miniseries, where we explore key moments of personal transformation that led people to question and ultimately reject conventional approaches to sustainable fashion.
