About Us
When Dielle Lundberg graduated from Boston University's School of Public Public Health in 2014, she set out to make a difference.
Now she's done just that.
Lundberg is the co-founder and CEO of Make Fashion Clean, a not-for-profit that diverts textile waste from landfills, open-air dumps, and the environment in order to reduce pollution.
The idea started with her friend and fellow activist Matilda Lartey, a fashion designer and environmental educator in Ghana.
Lartey wanted to open an online store to increase sales of clothes, bags, and accessories her organization was making and growing.
So Lundberg, Julia DeVoy, and Sarah Bibbey teamed up to create MFC, an online store that sells denim and tie-dye products.
They also partnered with a community-based organization in Ghana called The Foundation, which runs an upcycling studio that employs women and disabled people and diverts textile waste from landfills, open-air dumps, and the environment.
"We were encountering challenges explaining the work within the creative economy come together to talk about larger systems and structures," Lundberg tells the Boston Globe.
"I think that was helpful to figure out how we should build a team with the right skills, experiences, and values
