Democratizing Secondhand Style with Style Crush Co-Founder Jennifer Mielke

Jennifer Mielke is a sustainable style coach and Co-Founder of Style Crush, a co-op marketplace that aims to change the way we thrift shop by democratizing access to styling services. Jennifer stopped shopping for brand new clothes 13 years ago when she learned about the social and environmental impacts of the fashion industry. Her passion for secondhand fashion and helping people find their authentic style has led her to become a sustainable fashion tech entrepreneur working to make shopping for secondhand an easier first choice. Jennifer talks about her journey, being a mom and a startup founder, avoiding the destructiveness of capitalism, and doing things differently with a focus on equitable economies that enrich communities.
