This week's episode features two fantastic Vancouver women. First up, we talk to Randa Salloum, the Founder and Creative Director of CIEL Creative Marketing, the co-founder of pop-up consignment warehouse sale Archive, and a well-known local Instagram influencer in the lifestyle and fashion space.Randa gets candid about how she's changed her own approach to social media in an effort to lead a more sustainable life, as well as how she helps businesses get across their messages of sustainability, education, and empowerment. We also talk about Archive, and how Vancouverites can easily move past fast fashion and shop smarter for clothes and accessories.Then we chat with Vancouver-based pop singer and songwriter Emily Rowed, whose brand new album April just dropped on 604 Records. Emily talks about how the album chronicles one very important year in her life, from April to April. She hits the stage April 25 at Vancouver's Fox Cabaret in support of her new album, and she was kind enough to give us a low-fi and heart-felt performance of the song "My Friend," live at the V.I.A. Podcast studio.Credits:Produced and hosted by Lindsay William-Ross and Adam Nanji. Our Associate Producer and Editor is Albert Van Santvoort.
