Programming example

I got to attend Fashion Group International, Inc.‘s Bold by Design at Printemps in honor of Black History Month.I was surrounded by iconic designers, stylists, photographers, and editors, and it wasn’t just their accomplishments that left me starstruck, but the rare access to their genius. Shoutout to Maryanne Grisz for creating that space. Representation wasn’t a buzzword last night, it was personal.Two truths that stayed with me:1. Vision > Permission — don’t accept a “no” from people without the authority to give a “yes.” Talent is everywhere, but opportunity is something we actively reshape.2. Representation Redefines Systems — visibility allows others to imagine themselves in the room too.The mantra of the night: honor your gift, respect the planet, and create until you’re satisfied, not until you’re validated.Respect to Edwina Kulego for moderating an electric, layered conversation like a true pro🥂hashtag#Fashion hashtag#BlackHistoryMonth
