I Infiltrated the Met Gala…in a Dress Made of Garbage: Maya Penn

25 year-old veteran environmentalist, artist, and sustainable designer Maya Penn’s never felt ashamed of being an outsider. At eight years old Maya harnessed the hope of climate activism as a form of self-love against systems of greed and destruction. She’s never been one to follow a trend, from insisting on her natural curls, to giving three Ted Talks, to wearing a dress made of garbage to the Met Gala. Tune in to this week’s episode as Maya reveals to Elisa how she’s fully accepted herself as a force of nature, driven by her life’s purpose: creating a sustainable world.
