Summary

Christine Platt, author of ‘'The Afrominimalist Guide To Living With Less,’ and pioneer behind The Afrominimalist, joins the podcast to talk about how she’s carving out space for BIPOC within the minimalist movement. We discuss her journey towards living with less and how she outlines the differences for historically marginalized communities, which radically change the movement and minimalist community. Inclusion and representation matter, and this episode demonstrates the importance of recognizing this fact and celebrating these leaps forward within the minimalist movement.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • How minimalism is different for BIPOC
  • Where Christine started on her minimalist journey
  • Why minimalism isn’t living with less, it’s living with intention
  • How you can have luxury and also live with less + more
