We believe that when you give, you receive. Most times you don’t receive in the same places you give, but this time is different. This article is very special because it’s written by a former HFR intern @mionsade. - For 8 years, HFR has run an internship program for college students. The students meet on a video call at 8am every morning. This allows us to see who’s serious. The students who make it through the internship go on to do amazing things in fashion and other industries as well. - When Mion called me to let us know she was working for @cnn and wanted to do a story on @harlemsfashionrow it felt like a full circle moment. We’re so proud of this article and of Mion! - Please join us in congratulating @mionsade and thanking her for this incredible article. - Please read and share it. The link is temporarily in our bio. - #givebackalways #proudmoment
