Can’t wait to see what 2022 has in store for us!

After the end of 2021, it is time to reflect on our goals for 2022 and create things that we will be grateful for. As an entrepreneur, my biggest goal for this year is to build an impact that in turn realizes change via the community we've developed at Fashinnovation. Overall, we dream to finally have the industry not just say or speak the words: inclusivity, empowerment, and collaboration, but to ACT them out on a continuous and constant basis.?

The fashion industry is unfortunately known for being superficial at times. Lots of green and socio washing takes place. However, at Fashinnovation we do believe that is because lots of brands have developed a bigger-than-life persona for the people behind them.

If we as an industry open up the "bubble" to allow anyone in that is interested in making change and focus not on the brand persona but the actual human being behind the brand, behind the technology and we start to resonate with one another based on the person in which we are, this is when real thoughts will be shared and solutions will be had.

In business, we want to continue to develop the community by bringing in more inspiring voices to be a part of important conversations, start assembling partnerships with companies that can help us "do" and not just "speak" as well as bring people together physically again to have a meeting of the minds at least once a year.

We feel that in an industry that just gets beat up over and over again, especially with so many negative occurrences since the pandemic, we have to start spreading positivity and hope, which there is a lot of thanks to the incredible PEOPLE behind the innovations that are now available, in order to ensure more sustainability as we move forward to the future of fashion!?

With that, I'd also love to truly focus on my recently published book: "?t Can Be You: Humanizing Homelessness" with the aim to humanize homelessness, which unfortunately has taken a turn for the worse in the last two years and we need to understand the issue, to start assembling a solution.?

For 2022, I want everyone to finally get a grip on what's important and realize that unity is the answer to success. Let's GO!
