If You’re Not Size Inclusive, You’re A Bad Designer!

This week, Sara and Jules are tackling one of our favorite topics — size inclusivity! learn what it means, why it’s important, how it ties into other types of inclusivity, and how a lack of diversity persists in the fiber industry. we also just rant a bit about fatphobia and skinny culture, so if that sounds like your thing, please join us!
