Summary

This episode of "HIGH LEVEL CONVERSATIONS" with host 19Keys and special guest Sia C. focuses on the lack of media coverage for black up and coming designers with a huge fanbase in the streets and immense talent. The conversation delves into the systemic issues that prevent black designers from breaking through in the fashion industry and the impact that the lack of representation has on both the industry and society as a whole. The discussion raises thought-provoking questions on the true value placed on creativity and talent and whether we are perpetuating a cycle of exclusion and marginalization. Ultimately, this episode challenges the notion of a truly diverse and inclusive society if the contributions of black designers and other underrepresented groups are continually ignored.
