Shifting Culture Toward Equality with the Founder of Good Worx Kirstyn Nimmo

February 8, 2023

When you talk about being behind the curtain, they [Gen Z] feel the threat and they know what it means to make statements publicly… so I feel like they are seeing through a lot of what was very comfortable for previous generations and they’re calling BS on it and demanding action.

We use words and phrases like "social impact", "being an ally", and "diversity & inclusion" so often that it often feels as if these ideas fall flat. Today, Aliza is sitting down with Kirstyn Nimmo, Founder of Good Worx, to talk about social impact from a brand strategist's point of view, changing the conversation around influencer marketing for big brands, and what Gen Z is getting right.
