BRANDS I NO LONGER SUPPORT | pangaia, reformation, aritzia, everlane

Why I no longer support Reformation or Pangaia due to racism, and Everlane due to unethical union busting. Timestamps & more info below! Correction: I mistook Mira for being on the chair when it was her friend Dasha. But the idea was Mira's and it was a photoshoot she led and published, so the issue is still the same (more info in pinned comment). Please don't focus on my video mistake (sorry, I was so shook and heated), but the racist nature of that photoshoot in addition to everything else!

Note: I haven't bought from Aritzia for years but I know some of you buy from them for your minimalist/capsule wardrobes because of their timeless style/quality. That's why I wanted to bring up their discrimination etc. Read more here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CBLpZrngaf7/
