About the Author

Clothing designer Sajata Epps aka SAJATA-E is a community leader and 39 year born and raised Bronx resident who created this project to address some major concerns in her community. She has been running her lifestyle brand out of the Bronx for 16 years and noticed some alarming issues as a Bronxite resident. One in particular is the large amount of trash created by community members as they purchase cheap and disposable fashion that lasts only a season. For the price of one dollar a Bronx resident can purchase a winter hat for themselves and their children but these purchases don't last very long and are usually made from synthetic fibers that won't break down in landfills. Sajata wanted to teach residents other inexpensive options in order to provide their families with a more sustainable living standard and improve their quality of life.
