Grateful to have spoken at FIT’s CitySource Manufacturing Symposium about the future of fashion innovation ✨

We have more technology, more data, and more information at our fingertips than ever before. But access alone doesn’t move an industry forward. The real shift happens when we know what questions to ask, what ideas to test, and how to turn information into action.

How do we make innovation useful—and accessible—to the people and businesses actually making the clothes?

I loved being part of this conversation. What change do you think fashion manufacturing needs most right now?

#NEWS: @fitnyc just launched its FIRST-EVER adaptive clothing course starting February 10 - taught by @alinakuders CEO of adaptive clothing brand @sparkiesusofficial.

The course offers students an opportunity to earn an Adaptive Fashion Design Certificate through hands-on design work using accessible textiles, while learning the history, construction process, and purpose behind clothing that is essential to our world.

By integrating inclusive practices into educational curriculum, institutions like FIT are opening doors where access has been limited.

And this is just the beginning. FIT will also be launching a Runway of Dreams College Club in the future - so keep an eye out!

To enroll in the course visit the link 🔗 in our bio! Graphic featuring two dress forms on stands against a dark background with main text reading "Adaptive Fashion Design is Coming to FIT." Additional text reads "New Course" and "Enroll in SPX300 Adaptive Fashion Design Certificate" by @sparkiesusofficial

My heart is full. ❤️

From having an idea to design for inclusivity for @sparkiesusofficial, to giving a lecture at Rutgers Business School for students interested in adaptive design. 

It is a true blessing to support and inspire others along the way.

Thanks so much to @innercitycapitalconnections and Jordan Gerdes for hosting an event today and allowing me to share some insights about the strategy, partnership, growth and spirituality. Of course, we discussed the need for change, inclusivity and what role @sparkiesusofficial plays in it.

A video from the Venice film festival in Venice, Italy, in 2025, where I spoke about inclusivity and accessibility in the mindset and heart, compassion and what it means to see yourself in others. 

Grateful to share the stage with @susansarandon @kevincostner @enzoglobal @nataliya_resh.official  and other awesome people. 

Link for a video is in bio as well as below:
