About

I am a sophomore at ShawneeMission West. I am a foster kid who loves fashion. When I realized I could use clothes to spread awareness, I knew I had to make a business. That's where Fostered and Free comes from. Remember it starts with a loving home.

Problem

You don't have clothes that share your advocacy for foster kids.

Solution

My brand is the solution because it spreads awareness about foster kids.
