Anna Spoore. A heart for justice. A life lived for change.

I’ve always believed that no person should ever be owned by another.

And yet, across the world, in fields, factories, and supply chains, millions still live in modern slavery. That truth breaks my heart. It’s what drives me.

My name is Anna Spoore. I’m a mother of six daughters, a Fair Trade advocate, a presenter, and someone who’s spent the last 15 years walking alongside communities, listening to stories, and asking hard questions about justice, ethics, and how we live.

Before I founded Change Threads, I worked with World Vision. Over time, I found myself drawn more and more into the world of ethical production, not just advocacy, but action. Because I believe that unless we build businesses that honour both people and planet, all our advocacy is just talk.

Justice must be lived out in what we buy, how we work, and how we care.

I’ve always admired people like Mother Teresa, Gandhi, William Wallace, and Tim Costello. Not just for their ideals, but for their courage to challenge systems and call others to something deeper. I don’t claim to be like them, but they remind me that change starts with conviction and continues with community.

One of my greatest joys is taking people on a journey of discovery, helping them understand the impact of ethical consumption and digging into the curly questions that come with it. I love opening space for thoughtful conversations, but I love even more when those conversations turn into practical action.

I also believe that true justice includes accessibility. As someone who is dyslexic, and a mother to a daughter on the autism spectrum, I care deeply about how we include neurodiverse people in this work, whether in the classroom, the workplace, or the supply chain.

I love the feel of good quality cotton. I love knowing who made what I wear. And I love being part of something that brings dignity, not damage, to the people behind the product.

Change Threads isn’t just a business to me it’s a response.

A response to injustice.

A response to silence.

And an invitation to anyone who believes we can do better.
