Head to the Stitch Stage to watch Karen’s live talk on ‘How to wear your happy and live your boldest life!’

She speaks about the positive links between fashion and mental wellbeing – Wear Your Happy – and how this helped her through depression after leaving teaching. Her podcast Menopause Whilst Black, centres the mid life stores of Black British women. Having taken up modelling in her late fifties, you may have seen her smiling eyes gracing the Specsavers TV and billboard campaign.
