Nadia Stooki

In this episode I speak to entrepreneur and Jewellery maker, Nadia Abbas.

Nadia, Quincey and Luke co-founded Stööki in 2011 as a Jewelery brand with its roots firmly in London youth culture.

We talk about the highs and lows of running a sustainable fashion business in a throw-away world, how Stööki survived after the tragic and untimely passing of Quincey and how everything Stööki does is centred around building community. Stööki is more than a brand, it's a movement.

Nadia is so passionate about her craft and a real inspiration to anyone - particularly young women of colour - thinking about starting their own creative endeavor.
