At Hems & Brims, we’re committed to closing the disparity gap in the fashion industry by empowering the next generation of Black creatives.
Your support helps us invest in our students’ dreams, offering the resources, mentorship and opportunities they need to overcome systemic barriers to entry.
Your contribution will:
Sustain Our Program: Ensure our mentorship program remains free of cost, allowing us to support future cohorts of aspiring fashion professionals.
Provide Scholarships and Internships: Create opportunities for students to pursue higher education and gain hands-on experience in the fashion industry.
Expand Access to Resources & Industry Connections: Equip students with essential tools such as sewing machines, sewing kits, fabric, and valuable industry connections to foster their growth.
THANK YOU TO OUR DONORS!
Through the generosity of our donors, we’ve gifted 16 students with sewing machines and sent approximately 120 yards of fabric to support their fashion journeys.
