In this episode we speak with Cameron Russel, a supermodel, activist, trailblazer, and dear friend. With seventeen years of modeling for brands like Prada, Calvin Klein, Victoria’s Secret and Vogue, she gave one of the most popular TED talks of all time (over 37 million views!) on the power of image, and co-founded the model/activist group the Model Mafia. Cameron is currently finishing her book about fashion, intuition, and power.
Join us as we talk about finding your voice as a model, using your platform for activism, how media shapes identity and how building community is our best chance at saving our world. This is a heartfelt, inspiring episode and we know you’re going to love it!
