Breakout Session

I attended the breakout session with Cami TĂ©llez of the brand Parade.  In this guided workshop she spoke about the importance of learning your core customer before launching your brand.  In other words, build a community first.  Cami shared her journey of stepping away from her formal education.  In addition, how it was as young people having to explain to her parents that she felt her life purpose was building Parade and it’s mission.

Workshop information

The Fashion + Media workshop was very informative.  I’ve already connected with some of the people from the breakout session I attended.  It was great spending time with people I have so much respect for.  I know Zoom type workshops can come off weird or offputting.  However, I didn’t get that feeling from this workshop.  Honestly, I felt like I was at an intimate meeting.  I really enjoyed all the panelists and the information each had to offer.  I’m glad I had the opportunity to attend and can’t wait for the next one.

The next workshop will focus on Politics + Culture.  It’ll take place on October 3rd.  After that, there will be a workshop on Beauty + Wellness Workshop on November 7th.  More information on the upcoming workshops can be found here.  In conclusion, I hope to see you on the next #TeenVogueSummit workshop zoom.
