Where Am I Wearing?

Being driven by passion and curiosity, Kelsey Timmerman tells stories of what we often consider natural.

From Cambodian clothing factory to Costa Rica banana plantation, Kelsey Timmerman promises to solve global problems through storytelling. By traveling around the world and speaking the stories of the people he met, Timmerman can begin dialogue on how to educate his readers and improve the world economy.

Where is my clothes in his first book? (The second edition will be announced in April 2012, Wiley), he will travel the world to find out where his clothes came from. He visited clothing factories in Asia and Latin America and shared the story of those who made clothes.

Academic conspiracy and desire for knowledge urged Kelsey Timmerman to write a book "Where to Wear That". "Where I can wear" is a summary of Timmerman's easy-to-think questions. About the clothes we are wearing, about the working clothes of people wearing clothes, and about his working conditions, he writes. There are many trips in the book process. - "One-sixth of all children in this age group are engaged in child labor in developing countries, 126 million children worldwide are working in a dangerous situation." Strikes, humiliation, sexuality I am suffering from violence "(UNICEF). It is almost impossible not to think how lately a few recent children are.

When I was 18 years old, when I met a new female manager Franki Pepperrell, I worked in a retail store for about 4 months. I was playing kid's clothes, and I really liked my team. Children's clothing is a small department so you can build close relationships with team members. One morning, my boss who was wearing children's clothes pulled me aside and told me that it was a moving department. I am not glad. It is completely different. In the first few months after acquiring her degree, a blonde woman, Frankie Pepperrell, sat down drinking coffee. I sat there, I put my arms around, I was lazy, I did not care what a woman said. She knows what she deals with. When we continued talking - well, I did not talk much - Frankie told me she would be my new manager. She talks about what happened the day before and I want to understand why I am very dissatisfied with this. I explained to her that she did not want to lose the team members.
