​I would like to introduce to you a new 501(c)(3) initiative where we will teach the science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics that exists in fashion design, fabrication, modeling, photography, and fashion show production. Students will choose to learn any or all five of these professional skills through our curriculum, and the careers associated with them. A youth fashion show production will be the culmination of this program, where the students will run it along side industry professionals.

​

We have developed partnerships to teach youth in Detroit, Harlem, and Miami to kick off our inaugural year. We will be collaborating with professionals throughout the fashion industry to accomplish such an ambitious goal. We humbly ask that you keep us in your prayers as we execute this vision to inspire and educate our youth in the industry of fashion.

​

Sincerely, 

​
