Xochil shares her journey as a local professional pattern maker and fashion designer. The program aims to provide vulnerable teens access to careers in the fashion arts industry by showcasing its value and exposing them to non-traditional career paths that will generate new economic funnels within their communities - contributing to their social and economic self-sufficiency and sustainability.
