Suited & Booted is a charity for vulnerable, unemployed and low-income men. The charity helps men get back into employment by providing suitable clothing for interviews. Maria Lenn the founder of Suited & Booted has come across many clients who have lost everything and in a sense, lost themselves. The charity also helps their clients with self-esteem and other emotional help to get back on track. I must say that Maria is an amazing, inspirational person. This interview was originally to be uploaded in August as part of our 2nd season but I decided to share it early. I think Maria has always been a part of menSwear by a Woman.  https://www.suitedbootedcentre.org.uk/ If you have any feedback or would like to be featured on a future episode please feel free to email menswearbyawoman@gmail.com
