Join FOKUS on Friday, February 21st at Leisure Life NYC for a conversation on the impact of the African Diaspora on fashion & culture.
Our discussion panel, featuring: Charnier Corey (Leisure Life NYC), Brandice Henderson (Harlem Fashion Row), Jennifer Nnamani (Beau Monde Society) and Uchea Nwabuzor (Ana Kata), will explore how the panelists' migratory experiences have shaped their own lives and work, the notion of being labeled an "ethnic" designer and more. Attendance is free but RSVP here for limited reserved seating.
After the event, you are invited to join us at
Tipsy for a wine tasting reception.

FOKUS is presenting these events in conjunction with the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership's Black Artstory Month: Native Sons and Daughters brings together stories of travel, of exploring identities, of seeking to establish roots and of pursuing ownership of a space and place. While the primary focus is on the African American experiences, these journeys and pursuits are universal—crossing cultural and racial lines.
