Relationships are the lifeline to any professional career. Cultivating new relationships can lead to extraordinary opportunities. Back in September, I got the opportunity to share my educational and professional story with a group of students from the The High School of Fashion Industries. The High School of Fashion Industries is a technical high school in NYC specializing in the trade and skills of the fashion industry. My dear friend Angie O’Riley runs a program called The Curvy Lab from the high school. The mission of the The Curvy lab is to promote inclusivity and diversity and to integrate these principles in a multifaceted curriculum by celebrating realistic representations of the body.
Speaking to groups of people isn’t my thing but I did enjoy sharing my story with this group of students. Enjoy.
