Youth Venture

We will be working with youth from the Barry Farms Community of Anacostia. Barry Farms is a small inner-city neighborhood in Southeast Washington, D.C., adjacent to St. Elizabeth's Hospital. Possibly the oldest African American neighborhood in Washington, it is today almost entirely occupied by public housing projects and has a reputation for violent crime, poverty, and neglect, although it has devoted and concerned community activists who believe that it is in the early stages of redevelopment.

Social Revolution through Fashion Solutions- Slate Theory

The name of my company is Slate Theory. It is a teeshirt and hoody fashion line that uses artistic expression, the power and impact of fashion, and the buying power that consumer's hold to create a brand built upon the principle of ubuntu "I am because we are". A hip-hop creative funky urban street chic vibe with a social mission as the foundation of the entire venture. The corporate social responsibility aspect is not merely an attatched word to boost sales, but it is truly devised based on giving back locally and globally.
