A word from the Founder

I am beyong excited to release the first look book for The Honest Whisper. Not only is it an opportunity to showcase some vegan activist fashion, but also milestones for the honest whisper. I am so thankful for such a talented and inspiring community in Toronto, Ontario which has supported all of these accomplishments. I hope you enjoy this book and how much it means to me to have this to share with you.

“If everyone listened to their honest whisper, we’d be living in a very different world."
- ray cruzzola

I see great value in using our skill sets to help others. My production company focuses on creating content that applies pressure for legislative change in the favour of animals, humans and the environment.
The Honest Whisper speaks volumes. It’s always a pleasure to work with and support Laura to help vitalize empathy in those who wear her brand and also those so lucky to read the messages.
