<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">This free event is open to all, and we can’t wait to gather in community for an evening of style, identity, and connection. Our featured speakers, fashion designers Nazia Siddiqui and Frilancy Hoyle, will lead
a powerful conversation about what it means to be women of color in fashion and how to dress authentically while maintaining professionalism. After the discussion, they’ll join us for an interactive clothing swap and even help you individually build outfits
that reflect your authentic self.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">There will be so many amazing pieces available at the swap! If you’re able, we encourage you to bring a tote bag—though we’ll have bags available just in case. We’ll also have light refreshments and finger foods
for you to enjoy while you browse, swap, and style.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
