Sara Trail from the Social Justice Sewing Academy joins us to talk about how SJSA’s workshops and programs support youth in their exploration of social justice issues through quilting as textile artivism. We also talk about the SJSA business incubator and exciting ways that you can help and get involved!

Love the podcast! And I’m a Patreon because I value what you bring to the sewing community.
I may be the only one interested, but when you ask your guests to talk about their sewing journey, I would be interested in what sewing machine they learned how to sew on and what sewing machine(s) they currently have.
Rania, thanks so much for this suggestion! We can totally see how this would be a fun question to ask! We appreciate your support in listening to the show, and of course, on Patreon 😍 Thank you!!
This woman should be running the country, she’s incredible.
We think Sara is SO inspiring too! 😍
I hadn’t heard of Sarah Trail, The Remembrance Project or SJSA, so glad I have now! I instantly looked up the instagram pages and am so moved by both projects, it has made me want to quilt, and I’m not remotely a quilter!
We are so happy to hear you felt inspired by this episode, Mel!
