Upcycling, Creativity & Community with Tea Montgomery of Threads by Tea and Rebekah Fraser of Trash to Fashion

This week on Sounds of Health, Dave sits down with multidisciplinary artist and creative entrepreneur Tea Montgomery of Threads by Tea, alongside Trash to Fashion founding director Rebekah Fraser. Together they explore how creativity, sustainability, and community action intersect to support physical, emotional, and environmental well‑being.

Tea shares his journey from the corporate world to building a life centered on art, teaching, and designing pieces that turn discarded materials into wearable expression. Rebekah discusses the mission behind Trash to Fashion, the environmental justice issues that fuel her work, and how upcycling can empower people of all ages to rethink waste and reconnect with their creativity.

From personal stories to upcoming community events, this conversation highlights how small creative actions can spark meaningful change.
