She earned her Ph.D. from LSU and serves as a councilmember and school teacher in Montgomery County. Kimberly opened Grant BLVD\u2019s storefront in August of 2020, tapping into West Philly using fashion as a \u201cmechanism for creating opportunities\u201d. As a creative director, she uses her platform to bring attention to the challenges of mass incarceration and the need for prison reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\">Meet our superstar student leaders.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tusustainability\/files\/2020\/11\/Student-Leaders-QA-1-1024x341.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"249\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tusustainability\/files\/2020\/11\/Student-Leaders-QA-1.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tusustainability\/?attachment_id=249\" class=\"wp-image-249\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Temple Made student leaders<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We were joined by five superstar students. With varying majors and career goals, student leaders came together through their passion and desire to learn. They channeled their passion for the environment, fashion, and making a positive difference by leading an insightful and empowering conversation with Kimberly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The power of acting with love and speaking out against inequity.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hear directly from Kimberly on her journey and present efforts to make a change! Here we have highlighted our answers and insight from Kimberly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We are guided through this conversation by superstar student leaders with three main topics in mind: People, Planet, and Profit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Layers of permanent disruption are created once someone is convicted of a crime. Whether one can secure a job trickles into their housing, funding, and ability to reunite with their children. Kimberly\u2019s legacy is just beginning as she founded Grant BLVD, knowing she could channel her passion for style by creating a sustainable fashion brand and eliminating barriers to provide employment opportunities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/c1vgTTFnaW4\n<\/div><figcaption>Sustainable Fashion and Social Impact with Kimberly McGlonn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">Q:<\/span><\/strong> What advice would you have for people beginning their journeys in sustainable fashion, and for sustainable entrepreneurs?<br><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">A:<\/span><\/strong> Being sustainable starts with committing individually, to be able to defend the decisions that we make in terms of sustainability while educating others. The high standard of sustainability is reducing consumption, the second highest is repurposing items to avoid adding waste and the highest standard is that we don&#8217;t buy new products. Overall, circularity and reusing products are most important &#8211; and that is how we are bringing Grant BLVD to the next level. Our goal is to encourage our shoppers to bring their garments back to us, to extend their life and give them a new purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/xHt-FbNpRcY\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Grant BLVD stands out against its competitors with its diverse and queer female staff, partnerships with communities in Philadelphia and their efforts of giving to non-profit organizations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The larger challenge for humans is to overcome our current consumer behavior. With consistency and endurance, we must demand more from our consumers, regulating purchases, and recognizing purchasing power while acting on it.

It continues into the history of fashion in America and the cotton industry. These \u201csustainable\u201d brands negatively affect Black and Brown communities through their manufacturing efforts and low-fair wages. It comes down to conducting research, and to stop shopping with brands that truly only benefit the top 5%. We must police ourselves and our consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/3W7WVS0xrro\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a tricky balance!

I know that I am investing in my pieces, spending more because what I am wearing reflects my values which is not supporting slave labor or destroying the planet.

And a teacher for the last 15 years, I was constantly approached with the questions of: what do you know about fashion? For me, it was about countering narratives about what my talent was.
