Listen now
Description
Terumi Murao is a Japanese-American creative director, model, sustainable wardrobe stylist, and surfer who dedicated much of her time to working with the Laru Beya Surf Collective in Far Rockaway, Queens. She also believes in finding creative new ways to give back to the community through fashion and styling. In this episode, Faith and Terumi talk about their shared New York Energy and Spirits, leveraging power & privilege for community uplift, navigating the fashion industry as environmentalists, and knowing how horrific it can be for the planet. They also get into the ups & downs of thrifting and buying secondhand, representation in the outdoors, examining privilege, and navigating whiteness. There is a lot of real talk and self-reflection in this episode, we think it's an incredible conversation to listen in on.
