Harmony had a dream of being a designer!

Harmony entered the cosmetology program  last school year as a freshman.  She mentioned that her dream was ultimately to become a fashion designer,  but thought it wise to take cosmetology to learn all aspects of the beauty industry. I told her that if she showed me that she was truly serious and put in the necessary hard work, I would do my very best to help her get in contact with the right people that could guide her on that path. Harmony has worked SO hard to maintain passing grades and meet every requirement of the cosmetology program, and has proven that she is truly dedicated to the program and her dream.  Due to her commitment,  I reached out to a fashion designer that I have worked with in the past, who was more than delighted to take Harmony under her wing and enroll her in a fashion designer mentorship program beginning this June!! In this photo she was surprised with the news, and allowed to call the designer herself to discuss details of the mentorship program! Please help me congratulate Harmony on her newest endeavors!! 

 

Dream big Harmony!!πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎTiminka Williams
