My Work – Jane Linley-Thomas

SEASONS OF LOVE

This ramp show was a beautiful example of what happens when you give women permission to play. Featuring the ReJoyce Collection, pre loved fashion and accessories pivoting around the theme, Season of JOY.

FASHION FLOWERS AND FRIENDS

A magnificent fashion showcase from The ReJoyce Collection and The Flower Farm featuring women from all walks of life between the ages of 10 an 80 years old. An event hosted at Impala Ridge Farm which saw 100 people come together for a fashion show like no other.

PMB HOMELESS NETWORK

During World Homeless day The ReJoyce Collection alongside KindnessCan and other light workers headed off to PMB to spend the day with some of the homeless people in the area. I felt compelled to set up a play space because no matter where you have been, where you are going or where you are now we all have the right to dip our toes into playfulness and joy. The result was person after person getting involved, dressing up and having such fun. The laughter rang in my ears for hours. It was a special day that ended up in a fundraising event in the evening.

TAFTA

TAFTA recently celebrated its 65th birthday and was celebrated in pure style as 12 elders took part in an elders fashion show. A sapphire soiree. This experience was extremely inspiring and proved that regardless of your age you have the choice how you show up. An evening of storytelling and high fashion. I loved being able to reframe the narrative of getting old. What a privilege right?

MOVEMBER

I felt compelled this N(m)ovember as a daughter, wife and mom to two beautiful sons to shine a light and create a beautiful portrait series of 30 KZN that could go out on social media, one for each day in November. The play session and picture set the tone for the men to share their honest thoughts around their mental health.

These type of campaigns are the perfect way to share social commentary and for brands to align that want to communicate in a different and engaging way. This is a powerful way of telling great human stories in businesses and organizations.

VERANDA PANDA

The ReJoyce Collection was the location for the latest Veranda Panda music video, Right Here Now. I was also tasked with lead on wardrobe concept and styling.

SCHOOLS

Over the past few years I have been privileged to have facilitated in a number of girls high schools around KZN in my personal capacity and with KindnessCan. I always lead with my heart and share personal stories around my journey as a student who battled through the academic system and then years later became the first female lead anchor to have a daytime show on East Coast Radio. Each session is upbeat, inspiring and a mix of storytelling, tips, tools and application. Play sessions also do really well in this space.

CORPORATES

Like with the high school session, I lead the session with honest sharing and storytelling around living a life not governed by judgment, fear or negativity but rather how I have journeyed collecting evidence of how kindness, gratitude, courage and transparency can bear such unbelievable fruit. As like the high school girls, corporate rooms are also keen to play if given the green light. To book a session with me for your employees lets chat…

The East Coast Radio Big Walk
