In the summer of 2014, my design intern Serena and I joined a team, to build a Fashion Design Micro business in Zambia. Empowering women to become entrepreneurs in their communities was our greatest goal and achievement. It started with a thread and the simple action of imparting knowledge, the power of which can change outcomes and build peoples futures. The thread for Zambia is an excellent example of how we use thoughtful design to knit lives together to create opportunities for individuals and communities.
