Using a Dress to Change the World

Founder & CEO Dressember, learn how upon realizing a problem, Blythe built a movement. The Dressember Foundation is an anti-trafficking nonprofit organization that engages women and men in the fight to end modern-day slavery. Through their annual campaign, thousands of people across six continents commit to wearing dresses or bow ties for the month of December as a way to bring awareness and raise funding for anti-trafficking work. What started off as a style challenge, in six years, Dressember advocates have raised $7.5MM USD. Dressember has received press attention from the likes of Forbes, Glamour, InStyle, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, and the TODAY Show. Just this year, Dressember has partnered with Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking (BEST) and Lyft to provide in-person human trafficking prevention education sessions to prevent the growing use of ride-sharing apps by traffickers. It’s definitely going to be an episode you’ll want to tune in to!
