FASHION ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN PALESTINE

with Meera Albaba

.

While fashion is often trivialized, Meera Albaba demonstrates how fashion and creativity is her outlet for social justice. Living in Gaza, Palestine, a city under siege, the freedom to create has been taken away from thousands of other young people. Her brand, MEERA ADNAN, thus, has come to represent more than clothing. It reclaims the creative freedom of Meera and all Palestinians. In this episode, Meera explains the Israel-Palestine conflict firsthand and her experiences running a business from a city under siege.
