“The-Fabric-of-our-DNA” was  developed by our founder Solitha Shortte to provide local businesses and creatives from all back grounds with a focus on artist of African descent,  providing  a platform to promote their artistry and brands, giving life to their work through runway shows and live art displays.
Through partnerships with different artist  and businesses we hope to start a dialogue around the need for more collaboration, between artist of different ethnic backgrounds. Bringing together their artistic expressions in support Inclusivity; proving that together we are stronger and can start changing the narrative around racial and other issues, stemming from personal and systemic prejudice, giving way hate and bullying.
The soul of our brand is rooted in community and giving  back. This event is designed to  support charitable Initiatives focused on Empowerment through education. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Atlantic Scholarship Organization  ” Legacy Scholarships”
