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.
Part 1:
You don't have clothes that share your advocacy for foster kids.
Part 2:
My brand is the solution because it spreads awareness about foster kids.
Part 3:
Gen Z
Part 4:
This can impact foster kids in Kansas and hopefully one day it can impact foster kids all around America.
