Born and raised by entrepreneurs, fab'rik Founder Dana Spinola has been taught from a young age that if you love what you do you will never work another day in your life.

Dana has always believed that clothing has the ability to change lives. In 2009, she launched the brand's nonprofit, free fab'rik, that builds completely free Dream Boutiques inside of safe houses and homeless shelters to provide free shopping sprees for women in need. She then launched a charity collection, Clothe the Globe, which proceeds support building these free boutiques around the world. Forbes called her “one of the five great American entrepreneurs you haven’t heard of yet but should know” because of her dedication to not only building a growing fashion brand but for inspiring a culture of people to weave purpose into their companies and their lives. She was voted Business Person of the Year, Women Making a Mark, and has appeared in dozens of publications from Wall Street Journal to Elle. Author and Inspirational speaker, Dana is committed to reminding people to dream big and then chase those dreams relentlessly. She wrote the book, love what you do, as a guide to ignite your passion, find your purpose and live life with meaning.

We have yet to fully reflect on the year that was, but we certainly have had time to envision what's to come. In what has become an annual delight, we had the great honor of having Jill Kersh, MCC, CPCC, Master Certified Career & Life Coach and dear friend of DFSA, masterfully shepherd us through envisioning our more fulfilled selves. With her guidance, we built vision boards to support, focus, and motivate us to achieve the smaller, simpler, measurable goals that move us toward that more fulfilled self. We LOVE starting each year with Jill, getting clear, getting motivated, and being accountable to ourselves by getting specific about our goals along the path to our success. Thank you, Jill for always helping us get ready and setting us up to thrive! Have you set realistic goals for 2024? Are you ready to thrive? #dressforsuccessatlanta #empowHER #thriveunlimited #setyourgoals #makethemmeasurable #beaccountable #visionboarding2024 #morefulfilledyou #pathtoyoursuccess
