Madewell Brand Ambassadors | Meet The Madewell Fam

ERICKA HART SEX EDUCATOR, RACIAL/SOCIAL/GENDER JUSTICE DISRUPTOR AND WRITER @ihartericka
HOW SHE DOES WELL: “I’m still figuring out what my mission is, but I know part of it is focusing on making a difference in the world so that people can live long enough, securely enough and happily enough to get to know theirs.”
HOW SHE LIVES WELL: “Reveling in my Blackness, my queerness and unlearning all the societal indoctrination and conditioning that would have me not live well (or live at all).”
HOW SHE DRESSES WELL: “Balling on a budget or indulging as I’m able. I’m inspired by old-school Black femme style and I like to pay homage to the tastemakers that came before us, who used what they had and made it anew.”

ADAM J. KURTZ DESIGNER, ARTIST AND SPEAKER @adamjk
HOW HE DOES WELL: “Using art and words to put some good into the world—one book, drawing and keychain at a time.”
HOW HE LIVES WELL: “I go by the motto, ‘things are what you make of them,’ a reminder for each of us to do what we can with what we’ve got.”
HOW HE DRESSES WELL: “I’m very into having a uniform. Simple, well-made pieces that I can wear all the time without overthinking it.”

SOPHIA LI CLIMATE OPTIMIST, JOURNALIST AND FILMMAKER @sophfei
HOW SHE DOES WELL: “I challenge societal narratives in order to pave the path for a reimagined future. Healing within leads to healing for the flora and fauna.”
HOW SHE LIVES WELL: “It’s important to understand the yin and yang of life: with light, comes darkness. I fail upwards and embrace adversity and changes as opportunities to grow.”
