We went shopping in Urban Outfitter
We were talking about our fashion sense and our tips on skin-caring.
On January 23, 2018, Melany, Imani and I met at FIT and we had a working lunch. We discussed our goals for work and school as we continue with our relationship. We also discussed what future activities we would like to attend and how our interests overlap to be able to steer our future experiences in the best direction possible. Due to the different stages in their high school careers, they had different goals but they are also being able to help one another. Melany and Imani also went to a school basketball game.

We met in my classroom on lunch time Monday. We set up a meeting time that aligned with our schedules. We talked about Destiny's personal amd career goals which she will make a list and share with me. She spent the rest of the day with me as I was heading the Model BOOT CAMP.
Destiny is in my Junior DRAPING CLASS and yesterday she made me a face portrait with a poem needles to say it made me cry. I will share illustration with you shortly.
On Friday 2/8/18 Cartomu Kabba and Liz Torres will have our first night out at FIT to see the Fashion & Physique exhibition! We were going to meet last week but I thought with single digits weather to postpone to this Friday. If time permits I will take her to Parson School of FashionUniversity Center as a mini tour. Cartomu has a very busy schedule and Friday is her only night off so I look forward to create great experiences together!
ReplyDeleteOn feb 2nd Ms. Paulino, Imani and I met at FIT and got to know each other through the different goals we each have and made a list of places we would love to go to together which was nice as we all wanted to explore parts of NYC we haven't yet.
ReplyDeleteOn February 21, Liz took my friend and I to see Black Panther for my birthday. It was an amazing movie. After that, we took a walk on the high line and went to a Mexican restaurant.
ReplyDeleteI loved the food. Overall, it was a great day.
It was a beautiful movie to watch for all that it offers for positive influence and cinematography! So great to be able to introduce Cartomu and her friend to one of my favorite places like the High Line. The weather was incredibly warm and it made it even more enchanting.
DeleteElizabeth and Cartomu your experiences thus far are very fruitful thanks for sharing!
DeleteOn February 23, Liz and I went to FIT for the Fashion and Physique symposium. Their were many guest speakers and they covered all of the topics that needed diversity in the fashion community. Hopefully those messages will be relayed to our own high school students who need to hear it now more than ever. I also met her friend/ colleague Shireen who was really awesome. She made me see certain things in a new light. Hopefully we'll see more of each other. This truly was a great experience.
ReplyDeleteI was very impressed by the level of integrity and readiness to move the conversation forward for what a woman and man should feel like versus what they look like when it come to their body. There were famous plus size fit models that shared their experience and were so inspiring! Also Tim Gunn opened the discussion and he was so gracious to speak with us and take a picture with Cartomu! I took the emails of one of the fit models and as Cartomu suggests this conversation should start early in our education. May be we can get a visit! Great memories.
DeleteOn February 2nd, Melany, Miss Paulino and I met up at FIT and sat in student lounge. We talked about what we expected to get out of this partnership. We’ve only hung out twice so far but there are many more adventures to come.
ReplyDeleteon feb 21, Ms. Paulino, Imani and I went to eat ice cream in china town and talked about our days and fashion. Later on we went to a sustainable fashion seminar at Baruch which was very eye opening and entertaining to learn about. Lastly we went on a short thrift hunt.
ReplyDeleteOn February 21st Melany, Imani and I met in China town prior to attending a sustainable fashion conference. We had lunch and then made our way to Baruch College for the conference. We listened to a panelist discussion involving companies from brands such as Eileen Fischer as they discussed the changes they are making in the industry to benefit our earth and community. It was enlightening for me to see them absorb the information and start taking notes of their own accord. With entering the conference, the only thing I asked of them was to listen and to see them take an interest of their own was amazing. I think what really impacted them was when one of the panelists mentioned that it takes 700 gallons of water to produce one t-shirt. They also observed the panel and asked questions regarding their background as well as questioning the diversity of the panelist. One of the questions asked was " Why don't we close all stores and force people to clean the world?" I enjoyed having them be exposed to this and we are planning our next trips around visiting some of the least known museums in NY and watching documentary films involving fashion and our community.
