Last week Oiselle and Janji, two mission-driven running apparel brands, announced that they are merging as "a partnership of equals." Community is at the heart of both brands, and as Oiselle's founder, Sally Bergesen, and Janji's co-founder, Dave Spandorfer, explain, it's a big part of the reason why they decided to join forces.
