Maker Stories Episode 5 - Kassandra Gordon

In this episode we talk to Kassandra Gordon, an ethical jeweller/Goldsmith and jewellery content creator based in East London. In June 2020, Kassandra wrote an open letter to the jewellery industry highlighting how current practices and systems limit accessibility and entry into the trade for Black people; and a five-point plan to help increase the visibility of Black jewellers in the industry and amplify their voices. She also launched a Go Fund Me page to raise money to support Black jewellers facing hardship. She is host of the 'Created For You' podcast, where she interviews business owners and creatives providing excellent experiences to their clients. https://anchor.fm/kassandra-gordon.
