Sonal Patel-Cochran, owner of the Atlanta-based company Tribe by Sonal, joins Bevin and Siobhan to talk about how she integrates fair trade practices into her business model. We break down what the terms “fair trade” and “ethical sourcing” mean, why they’re important to a thriving global economy that supports makers from around the world, and discuss how to make sustainable and impactful decisions as a consumer during the holiday shopping season, and all year long.
