00:00I think the fashion today is too brutal.
00:03You pay for something that is cheap,
00:05you can just wear for three, four times,
00:07and you're going to throw away.
00:09And we don't have wear on the planet today
00:12through these clothes.
00:14She's a fashion model
00:16who grew up in the remote Amazon.
00:20And now she's calling for change
00:22in the global fashion industry,
00:24which produces 10% of all carbon emissions.
00:28The way that I was raised
00:30was a very humble way.
00:32I did have clothes, I did have money.
00:35You always pass to someone,
00:37and I think people need to start
00:40to think about that.
00:41Fast fashion, not just produce too much,
00:44but waste too much.
00:45The Atacama Desert,
00:47like, with a lot of clothes,
00:49and it's very bad for the environment.
00:52You know, what is the purpose of that?
00:54Today, Zaya Gourani
00:56is one of the few indigenous models in Brazil.
00:59My paintings, for me,
01:01it's part of my body.
01:03The two lines that I do is protection.
01:06I think my culture and my elders
01:08are surround me.
01:10When I don't use my paintings,
01:12actually I feel naked.
01:13I know when I'm going castings,
01:15people, sometimes they don't like that.
01:18But for me, what is most important
01:20is the girls in the community.
01:23They're going to see my face,
01:25and they're going to know
01:26that I'm fighting for them.
01:28I'm fighting for their inclusion.
01:30She uses her platform
01:31to demand protection
01:32for indigenous peoples
01:34who are threatened by land seizures.
01:36This is so serious
01:37because a lot of indigenous cities
01:39get in extinction.
01:41Imagine you waking up
01:43and your house is on fire.
01:45We have this feeling every day.
01:47Give the opportunity
01:48to the indigenous people
01:50to be at the place
01:51of the decision makers,
01:53not just like me in a campaign
01:56or in my face everywhere,
01:58but also inside the system.
02:00Guarani and her mother
02:01fled their homes
02:02near Rondonia, Brazil,
02:04out of fear of violence
02:05from settlers
02:06who illegally clear indigenous land.
02:09To bring visibility
02:10to native voices,
02:11Guarani co-founded a collective
02:13that supports
02:14indigenous-owned clothing brand.
02:16She spoke about indigenous rights
02:17at the Change Now 2023 Summit.
02:20I know that has few brands
02:22already starting
02:23the regenerative side
02:25where we have our clothes
02:26for five years,
02:27we give back to the brand,
02:28and the brand gonna renew
02:30these clothes and resell.
02:33And this is a right
02:34and correct way
02:36to do something
02:38that's not gonna impact
02:39too much in the planet.
02:41We need indigenous land,
02:43indigenous territory,
02:44demarcated.
02:45We need people to fight with us
02:47for that to happen
02:48and not thinking about raising,
02:50growing the economy,
02:52because this is not gonna
02:53take us anywhere.
