What I liked
Working at Custom Collaborative has truly been a learning experience. I have learned so much, not only about the fashion industry and sustainability, but about how nonprofits work, and about how business and nonprofits can come together. I also love that I am able to engage with many aspects of the local community by doing outreach in a variety of ways, whether through phone calls, distributing flyers, or even creating social media content. My supervisors are great to work with, and are always understanding and flexible. Custom Collaborative is definitely a place where you can see the intersections of various social justice issues, such as women's rights, immigrant rights, worker's rights, etc, come together, and where they are addressed in a unique way through the empowerment of low-income/immigrant women.
