"My experience at Southern Colorado fashion has been nothing but wonderful. It has provided me the chance to network and meet such talented people in my community. I’ve been able to volunteer and help with the fashion shows and I’ve also been able to design for some. Everyone apart of this community are so supportive and uplifting of each others art, with the intention of always growing and getting better. I am so thankful for Schakara for allowing me to showcase my talents in wherever part of SCF. I greatly encourage you to check out SCF, you won’t regret it. It’s such a diverse, supportive, and inclusive group you’ll find in Pueblo."
