People of color describe challenges of working in fashion

Kent State University, in collaboration with ourCusp, a community for people of color in the fashion industry, hosted an event at its New York City campus to support diversity, equity, and inclusion. A second audience joined via Skype from the school’s main campus in Ohio to hear the panel of professionals discuss candidly the unique challenges faced by people of color going about their daily work, to learn strategies to navigate common uncomfortable situations, and to understand how people of color are reshaping the industry of the future from the inside.
