74: Creating a more size-inclusive ethical fashion landscape and fat activism with Marielle Elizabeth

Marielle Elizabeth is a writer, photographer, blogger, and fat activist. I had the pleasure of chatting with Marielle in today's episode all about her journey towards where she is now as an ethical fashion blogger and influencer fighting fatphobia and advocating for size inclusivity in the industry. I really enjoy Marielle's no-BS approach to her work and how she's not afraid to say things how they are. We talk about her work building community, different business models for being an influencer, and how brands can move towards being more size-inclusive in a holistic way.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How Marielle got into size inclusivity in fashion and ethical fashion

  • How Marielle got started in advocating for size inclusivity in ethical fashion

  • If and when the word "fat" is appropriate

  • Marielle's thoughts on how ethical fashion has evolved over the past 5 years in regards to size expansion

  • How to approach expanding sizing as a brand, including the barrier

  • How to make expanded sizing a core tenant of your business

  • How to course correct when you make a mistake and use it to learn and grow

  • How Marielle's business model has evolved as a blogger and influencer with her move towards Patreon

  • What's inspiring Marielle

  • How small brands can work with influencers without a budget

  • Advice for bloggers and influencers looking to get started

  • Lessons Marielle's learned from improv
