** RVA Fashion Week Recap
------------------------------------------------------------
We had TWO Girl Action Team organized events during RVA Fashion Week! We want to thank our amazing supporters who volunteered, mentored, spoke on a panel, donated items, and helped spread the word. Here's our recap from Show Up, TJ and Secure the Bag and the Meadowbrook High School Fashion Symposium.
** Show Up, TJ and Secure the Bag
------------------------------------------------------------
We are SO PROUD of our Thomas Jefferson High School Girl Action Team for their flawless execution of the Show Up, TJ, and Secure the Bag Fashion Show. Nearly 200 community members came out to support the show, with plenty of media there to capture the story. We want to thank all of our panelists, our emcees and commentators, sponsor DTLR ([link removed]) , the RVA FASHION WEEK ([link removed]) team, our coaches, and volunteers for making it happen. What a show! Here are some highlights.
