What people Are Saying…
Isabel Varela spoke to a group of Southern Methodist University Fashion Media students last spring (2020) at my invitation, as part of a course on fashion, the media, and ethics. What struck me most about Isabel was her ability to connect with the students through her storytelling, much of it based on her own personal experience. Her presentation highlighted, in a very visceral way, the human cost associated with structural problems within the fashion industry, and left an indelible impression on her audience. —Camille R. Kraeplin, associate professor of Journalism/Fashion Media, Southern Methodist University
“I’ve had the pleasure of attending several of Isabel Varela’s speaking engagements. She is clearly a trailblazer in her field, and is demonstrably courageous in her presentations. When hearing her speak, you will feel empowered to overcome your own personal adversities and challenges. You will find her manner of communicating engaging and entertaining.” - Elizabeth M.
“I have seen Isabel as a life coach for several sessions now. She has empowered me to make significant progress in all my major life areas: relationships, work, finances, life purpose and passion, and even my living arrangements. Her profound life-changing guidance is something I will treasure forever. If you are ready, she can do the same for you.” - MK
