Shouldn’t we all be the main character in our own lives? This week Jasmine talks sustainability and finding support systems with two guests – Fashion Business and Technology Lecturer Charlene Gallery (she/her), and final year Computer Science Student Eman Ahsan (she/her).
From 3D modelling the shoes on your feet, to using technology to mitigate the need for waste in clothes sampling, Charlene advocates that STEM and the Arts are stronger together.
As two worlds collide, Eman shares her own perspective on the rapidly developing tech world and looks out at the possibilities ahead. Expect serious discussions about modern world, sprinkled with belly laughs and ‘aha!’ moments!
Put your headphones on, get comfy, and join us as we sit down and share our stories, perspectives, and have a good old laugh too. If you thought you didn’t have sisters to turn to for advice, yes you do.

About the guests
Charlene Gallery (she/her) is a lecturer in Fashion Business and Technology at The University of Manchester, and one of the many responsibilities she has taken on is that of Employability Tutor to her students: ‘You know, I always advocate for students to get industry experience’. This makes perfect sense, as Charlene’s own incredible portfolio goes far beyond working in Higher Education – she has also worked in the Fashion Industry with brands including Ralph Lauren, Inditex, and more. Today, Charlene shares why it’s so important to gain our own experiences, but also the role of supportive spaces, and how STEM is actually much bigger than you might think.
Eman Ahsan (she/her) is a final year Computer Science student here at the University, with a passion for problem-solving, coding, and applying computer science in broad and exciting ways. As part of her degree, Eman has also completed a year in industry, which sparks conversation today – the tracking technology she used in a manufacturing application also cropping up in the Fashion Industry. Eman has long been an inspiration to our Host, Jasmine, as for years she has gone out of her way to talk to and support others considering Higher Education.
