The latest virtual event you need to tune into!

Exciting news! On June 1st, 2021, U for Change will be launching their virtual graduation celebration, which will be hosted by the one and only, Devo Brown. U for Change helps provide underprivileged youth with a combination of creative, practical, and soft skills that will help them develop their careers in a safe, supportive and collaborative environment. Their overall mission is to equip the youth with crucial skills and opportunities through creativity.

To help raise funding for programming, U for Change will be holding a fundraiser called FASHION RUNS DEEP. FASHION RUNS DEEP will allow their graduates to get the recognition they deserve, while also imparting wisdom about the creative industries they soon may enter and get a chance to be a part of. The evening is meant to spark conversation surrounding resilience and inspiration in the creative industries while showcasing the work of Toronto’s next generation of cultural producers.

This year’s panellists are incredibly influential and will include: Jennifer Harper, Abiola Akinsiku, Justin Wu, and Rosa Halpern. Victoria Di Placido, Fashion and Beauty creator at TIKTOK, will also moderate the event. Finally, the keynote speaker at this year’s event will be Isabella Baboury, Director of Canada for Christian Louboutin.

Prepare to be captivated and spend an evening with inspiring students, mentors, and well-established creatives from fashion and the arts. The event will be inspiring, informative, educational, and supportive for all of those involved, making it a truly memorable experience, overall.
