A Fashion Forward Experience for Foster Youth with Sixto Cancel and Sharon McDaniel
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this week’s episode, we were joined by Sixto Cancel, founder and CEO of Think of Us, and Sharon McDaniel, founder and CEO of A Second Chance. We talked first about their relatively new joint venture between the two organizations called Fashion Forward Kinspire, which is entering its second year of helping expose youth in kinship or foster care to the world of fashion culminating with a trip to Fashion Week in New York City.
They stuck around to discuss the recent efforts to update the federal Chafee program for transition-age foster youth, the future of kinship care, and more.
Thanks to iFoster for sponsoring this episode.
