OMG, you are going to be so inspired by this woman! Born and raised in a little town in the Gulf of Carpentaria (northern Australia), she had a great childhood at a primary school with only 30-40 kids, and then she went to high school in Cairns - a bit of a shock but she enjoyed herself. This was followed by uni in Sydney. While she was there she did an exchange to Malaysia, and when she finished Uni she went to South Korea as an English teacher.
After an interesting career that was a bit of a wiggly worm, she ended up working for Austrde, when her Mum had a fall and broke both her elbows. It was this that sparked the idea of adaptive clothing for disabled people. Clothing that is fashionable but allows people with injuries or disabilities to look good, as well as being practical and functional.
Jessie is now supporting the almost 20% of the population that identify as disabled, but have very little support in the fashion sense (most have to adapt their own clothes). Her story, and her vision for the brand, are so exciting and inspirational, it's hard not to get swept up into her cause.
I hope you will listen to this podcast and realise that there may be a way to help Jessie get her brand more awareness and recognition. She certainly deserves every success, and I know you will feel as excited as I do about what she is doing!
