Amara was happy to be one of the sponsors of this year’s Ebony & Ivory’s Foster & Fashion event in Tacoma on February 24th. The event was a great opportunity to help kids experiencing foster and kinship care grow their confidence while also being celebrated.
The venue at the Foss Waterway Seaport was beautiful, the vibe was fun, the fashion was on point, and of course the kids stole the show! It was an inspiring evening celebrating community together.
Thank you to our CEO Fahren Johnson’s special guests for attending:
- Sheri Mitchell, Multicare
- Ashley Mangum, Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital – Kids Mental Health
- Sharkisha Ross, Puget Sound Energy
- Aiesha Oliver, Tacoma Public Schools
- Monique Shields, Executive Allure
- Claudia Miller,-Amara Board of Directors & Franklin Pierce School District
- Kiera Daniels, Deputy Mayor of Tacoma
Thank you De’Vaughn Williams, founder and Executive Director of Foster & Fashion and Ebony Fashion Week, for your vision of more than a runway show. Foster & Fashion was a transformative experience designed to empower foster youth through fashion, mentorship and creative expression!! We can’t wait for next year!!
