Passion and Purpose
Once I found my passion in fashion I started my business, but once I began to use my brand in helping others and teaching kids and working within my community, I found my purpose. The energy and positive vibrations from working with some foster kids and local teens this weekend was extraordinary. I feel like I really impacted some lives and related to some kids who needed a little push in the right direction. I may not be the greatest role model but telling my story and how I overcame some of my obstacles in life gives hope to those that may feel hopeless in their journey. Talking with kids that are just as lost as I was at their age and letting them know it will all work out if you focus on the positive and follow your passions, made me feel like I made the right decisions in life and to continue striving for greatness and giving back to my community. I think Will Smith said it better in the video below. I definitely can relate to wanting to be the greatest Designer in the world being in business for 7 years and tasting that kind of success but nothing really compares to working with the youth and helping others realize their potential. Thank you again Shari for inviting me and introducing me to your kids and their mentors.
