In this episode, Anna Ortiz-Aragon sits down with Kimberly Franks, the CEO and founder of Liberated Roots Co. - a vintage clothing shop, community hub, and platform for creative expression in St. Louis.
Kimberly shares her personal journey from bookish academic to embracing her identity as a creative visionary, and the importance of holding sacred the creative energy of the Black community.
They dive into Kimberly's upcoming sustainable fashion show "Natural Consequences: The Tumultuous Pursuit of Harmony" at the St. Louis Earth Day Festival, exploring themes of Mother Nature's "villain era" and using fashion to inspire righteous outrage and rethink the possibilities of self-expression. Kimberly also discusses the challenges of running a community-focused independent business, the power of curation and collaboration, and the need to create spaces that nurture and activate people.
This conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in sustainable fashion, vintage style, creative entrepreneurship, personal development, and using art as a tool for social change. Kimberly shares invaluable insights on tapping into your inner creative genius, building community, and standing up for justice through self-expression.
