  • We’re in the business of making wardrobe basics less… basic 🌝 ⁣ ⁣ Swipe right for a party in the back by @TenbyNYC: a capsule line of organic cotton tops meant to be worn in multiple ways. ⁣ ⁣ Grown & sewn in the US, the line is GOTS certified, which is recognized as the leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibers. 🌹 ⁣ ⁣ #ADIMAY #TenbyNYC #organiccotton
  • This year is shaping up to be a big one for hemp and its plant-derived cannabidiol, more commonly known as CBD. Thanks to the recently passed 2018 Farm Bill, which broadens the ability to grow and sell hemp-derived products across all 50 states, it’s only a matter of time before even more new CBD brands flood the wellness market.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ As the options increase, how to separate the quality stuff from what’s really just snake oil?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Located in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, @veritasfarmsofficial is a leader in sustainable hemp farming, creating a line of full-spectrum hemp oil products— from lotions, salves, & gummies. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ They put as much emphasis on conservation and environmental responsibility as they do the production of high-quality hemp products. Capturing the “farm-to-table” concept so popular in food production, the farmers at Veritas grow, process, test, and package all their products on-site. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Use code ADITI15 for 15% off 🌱 ⁣⁣

  • Sunita, the woman behind Her Farm. 💛 ⁣ ⁣ “Matriarch” is a photo series documenting the daily lives of women and girls on Her Farm Nepal, a rural matriarchal farming community that rejects Nepal’s patriarchal society and values equality, sustainability, and egalitarianism. ⁣ ⁣ Her Farm was created for women escaping poverty and domestic abuse, making a space where individuals can gain financial liberation through owning their own land & raise their children in a community without gender-based violence.
  • Naps after a long day pulling corn husks 🌽⁣ ⁣ Her Farm Nepal is a community where the principles of feminism are intimately linked to the principles of ecology. ⁣ ⁣ Any ecofeminist thinkers on the ‘gram? In ecofeminism, women’s liberation cannot be achieved without a simultaneous struggle for the preservation and liberation of all life on this planet from the dominant patriarchal & capitalist worldview. ⁣ ⁣ It’s the idea that the worldview that causes environmental degradation and injustice is the same worldview that causes a culture of male domination, exploitation, and inequality for women. ⁣Thoughts?

  • As a photographer, I’m usually balancing two polar genres: fashion & photojournalism. One is carefully premeditated, and the other demands spontaneity. Thematically, they’re similar: WOC-centric, rooted in environmental and cultural sustainability. You’ll be seeing more of my photojournalism work this year— starting off with sharing a continued body of work from a matriarchal farm in rural Nepal. 💛
