BUSINESS INSTAGRAM: @arianaadonovan Hello everyone!!! This was originally a podcast created by me in order to raise awareness about issues within the fashion industry not many are aware of unless they’ve worked in it themselves or know someone who has…it’s still kind of that.

Subscribe if you’re pickin’ up what I’m puttin’ down 🤍
