Jonathan Joseph - Fashion as empowerment. Social responsibility, technology and resilience.
Jonathan Joseph has overcome an array of obstacles in his life. From abandonment as a baby on the doorstep of a Colombian orphanage in the 80’s, dealing with Ataxic Cerebral Palsy and ADHD and then the loss of his mother to a decades long battle with breast cancer when he was just 19. He has turned his pain into his passions and now dedicates his life to leaving this world a little better than he found it.
Joathan’s background includes philanthropic and private sector strategic consulting, fundraising management, luxury fashion, digital media and a fine art studio. As a consultant he has raised millions for clients in the private and charitable sector and advised boards serving marginalised communities for years.
