Y'all are in for a treat. Terrance of Terrance Williams Designs joins Jen for an episode full of big laughs. :) Terrance shares his maker journey that was sparked by a love of fashion, which grew into learning how garments are made and the art of sewing, which led to launching his business!
He then dives into tips for sustainability, talking to the media, and the absolute joy of building a supportive community by being authentic with every interaction. Terrance and Jen also explore cultural appropriation vs appreciation, especially in craft, art, and making through the real-life example of Terrance's product created with Ankara fabric.
