Australian youth climate activist Varsha Yajman is set to be profiled across the Tory Burch platform, following a partnership between the label and Upworthy.
As part of an initiative launched yesterday on International Women's Day, Tory Burch will profile women across the world making a difference in their local communities.
Consumers who know an inspirational woman can nominate her to be recognised on the digital platform.
One woman will be chosen each month, with $5000 to be donated to her chosen charity through the Tory Burch Foundation.
Kicking off the program is a selection of five women from across the world; Australia's Varsha Yajman, UK journalist and podcast producer Victoria Sanusi, 'Black Fairy Godmother' Simone Gordon, Global Gateway Logistics founder Caitin Murphy and Open the Joy & Spread the Joy Foundation founder Shalini Samtani.
18-year-old Yajman is a leader with the Australian Youth Climate Coalition and helped organise the 2019 Australian Climate Strike.
She is working to become a lawyer to create change through the power of policy and law.
Meanwhile, Yajman also advocates for mental health, inclusivity and body positivity for young adults.
She not only advocates for these causes on social media but has also addressed large tech companies and their CEOs.
