Environmental Social Justice Interviews

NiK Kacy is the Creator and Executive Producer of Equality Fashion Week, the 1st LGBTQ+ focused Fashion Week in LA, as well as the Founder and President of NiK Kacy Footwear, a LGBT-certified business, and the first gender-equal footwear and accessories brand for genders and identities in all spectrums. As a gender nonconforming, transmasculine individual who identifies as nonbinary, Kacyโ€™s designs are inspired by both their personal identity, style, cultural background, fashion, and activism. Their hope is to provide a solution to individuals who have been seeking footwear alternatives that fit not only their feet but also their authentic expression of self. Their mission is to utilize fashion as activism in a way that inspires change so that gender is no longer a force that limits or restricts, and EQUALITY becomes the vernacular that ALL individuals speak. ๐‘ต๐’ ๐‘บ๐’‰๐’‚๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ, ๐‘ต๐’ ๐‘ฉ๐’๐’‚๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐‘ฌ๐’—๐’†๐’“๐’š ๐‘ณ๐’Š๐’•๐’•๐’๐’† ๐‘ฉ๐’Š๐’• ๐‘ฏ๐’†๐’๐’‘๐’”โ„ข #NikKacy #quality #genderequality #dei #equity #comfort #shoes #couture #fastfashion #sustainability @environmentalsocialjustice #ESJ #environmentalsocialjustice
