SpeakUP - by UPPAREL

Last week we had the pleasure of speaking to Sally Williams and hearing all about her journey from the iconic 'Brand Power Lady' to becoming Sustainable Sally! For over 25 years Sally promoted countless consumer products on national television, but after realising the devastating effects these disposable products were having on our environment, Sally knew she had to make a stand. So she made the brave decision to step away from a comfortable life and pursue a greater purpose! Now, Sally Williams is focused on advocating for innovative businesses that are doing good for the planet and sharing her passion for sustainability with the world.
