From the classroom to the runway! 👗✨ Ahmad Williamson and Julian Stockton recently showcased their creativity at Winston Salem Fashion Week as part of the Teen Goodwill Industries “Upcycle Design Showcase.”
The opportunity began while the students were at Lexington Middle School, where career exploration helped turn their interest in fashion design into a real world experience. Now ninth graders at Lexington Senior High School, Ahmad and Julian are continuing to build on their talents and explore future possibilities.
Congratulations, Ahmad and Julian! 💙🧡
