Behind The Threads
Hi! I'm Jamie, a 23-year-old creative with a passion for sustainable fashion. I recently graduated from Howard University with a Bachelor's in Marketing and a strong drive to make an impact. Initially, I envisioned myself stepping into the world of corporate fashion after graduation, but life had other plans.
Confident in my "stacked" resume, I turned to LinkedIn, fully expecting to land a job with ease. Spoiler alert: I was humbled. As many of us know, the current job market is rough, and like countless recent grads, I found it challenging to secure a role that aligned with my degree.
That’s when I realized it was time to take my creative pursuits seriously. You’ll often find me at a thrift store or working with my trusty sewing machine, Legend (yes, she has a name). Inspired by my love for upcycling and fashion, I began brainstorming ways to turn my hobbies into a sustainable source of income.
