Sharing this powerful blog post from Origami Customs, one of our designers at Equality Fashion Week this past May. It's a must read. It so captured what I created EFW to be that it brought tears to my eyes when reading it. I'm so proud that their team felt so seen. I'm so honored and blessed to be able to create this kinds of inspiring events that help queer folks feel included and celebrated. Please give it a read so you too can share the feeling of inclusivity. https://lnkd.in/gHn2hKhN Please feel free to share!

OMG TODAY'S THE DAY!!! EQUALITY FASHION WEEK IS HERE!!! WILL I SEE YOU THERE? https://lnkd.in/dETCAxiX

Countdown begins! Only two days away from the first day of events this Equality Fashion Week! This year's event is the biggest yet and could not have come at a better time when LGBTQ+ events funding and support are being rolled back. It takes a village and I'm so proud and honored to say we did it! If you've never been to our previous years events, this is the one you don't want to miss. There's fashion, empowerment, education and commerce all in support of queer lives and excellence.

It is the only event of it's kind in the US left remaining. Will I see you there?

Thank you Thomas Waller of WWD for taking the time to share about Equality Fashion Week. More than ever, LGBTQ+ focused events that elevate our community with visibility and representation are vital. As companies like Target are cutting Pride merch from shelves for fear of right wing backlash, we, as a community, need to support and help ensure we are not erased.
