YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT ‘TIL GRADUATION TO BE A SUCCESSDesigner Imani Whyte of ImaniLia Designs speaks to teens about her successes and experiences as a young fashion designer, and inspires them to pursue their goals.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Bronx, NY (12/2/09) – Talented Fashion Designer Imani Whyte was recently invited to speak about her life and experiences as a fashion designer to a group of teens at Christopher Columbus High School in Bronx, NY. Imani has been designing and making clothes since the age of 10, which made her a perfect candidate to speak to the youth about how to get stared and how to keep going even when someone puts you down.
Imani reflected on how she got started at such a young age. All of her experiences of designing her first collection and being featured in her first fashion show were discussed and she gave a brief history of her line from childhood through college. Imani also inspired students to continue to pursue their goals and how to stay motivated on the path those goals.
“Not everyone is going to like what you create, but for every 1 person who doesn’t like what you do, there are 20 more that will!”
After Imani’s speech was over she spent time with the students one on one answering all their questions about the business. She also invited the students to apply to be her intern, as she is currently looking for assistance as her line continues to grow.
