SUMMARY:Aja Barber
DESCRIPTION:Aja Barber is a writer and sustainability consultant focusing on the intersections of sustainability\, fashion\, and the textile industry. Her work explores the traditions of privilege\, wealth inequality\, racism\, feminism\, colonialism\, and how these systems of power affect our buying habits.  \nConsumed is her debut book\, a treatise on the state of fashion\, climate change\, and social justice. The book reveals the endemic injustices in our consumer industries\, the uncomfortable history of the textile industry\, and how oppressive systems help create a lack of diversity and equality in the fashion industry. Independent booksellers across the UK and Ireland voted to include Consumed on the non-fiction shortlist for the Indie Book Awards 2023.  \nBarber has written for The Guardian\, CNN\, Selfridges\, Eco-Age\, and a host of other sites. She contributed to “No Offence But…” by Gina Martin. She is currently working on a novel acquired by Brazen Books. Originally from Reston\, Virginia\, Barber currently lives in South East London. In addition to her other work\, Barber is a contributing editor for Elle UK. Her Patreon newsletter has been going since 2018 and was the first slow fashion newsletter of this type.
