“What does it look like to approach harm in a way that is transformative . . . how do we heal collectively and holistically . . . there are really unique and beautiful ways of doing that doesn't look like mass incarceration.” Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Rashida Ricketts and Her Work 07:54 Rashida's Journey into Service and Education 16:56 The Intersection of Fashion and Social Justice 27:52 Understanding the Graves to Gardens Concept 38:58 Misconceptions About Incarcerated Individuals 48:10 Call to Action and Final Thoughts Episode Summary: In this conversation, Shannon Cassidy speaks with Rashida Ricketts, founder of Graves to Gardens, about her journey from education to social justice through fashion. Rashida shares her experiences working with incarcerated individuals and how her background in communications and service shaped her understanding of the intersection between fashion and social justice. The discussion delves into misconceptions about incarcerated individuals, the importance of community and healing, and the transformative power of art. Rashida emphasizes the need for compassion and understanding in addressing systemic issues and encourages listeners to find ways to contribute positively to their communities. R.O.G. Takeaway Tips: Rashida's journey began with a commitment to service and education. Fashion can be a powerful tool for social change. Misconceptions about incarcerated individuals often overlook their humanity. Community support is crucial for those impacted by incarceration. Art and creativity can facilitate healing and self-discovery. The Graves to Gardens concept symbolizes transformation and hope. Everyone can find a way to contribute to social justice efforts. Understanding the trauma associated with poverty is essential. Compassion and forgiveness are key to healing. Small gestures can lead to significant positive change. Guest Bio: Rashida Ricketts is the Founder and Creative Director of Graves to Gardens, a podcast that bridges fashion and social justice. She has created pathways to elevate unheard stories and educate her listeners through fashion discourse. Graves to Gardens has featured prominent fashion leaders such as CFDA member Victor Glemaud, Olivier Rousteing of Balmain, Chrissy Rutherford, formerly of Harper's Bazaar, and Harlem Fashion Row's Brandice Daniel. Each leader shared Ricketts' drive to advocate for social issues, especially women's incarceration. Ricketts started Graves to Gardens during the height of racial unrest in the U.S. in 2020. “There were social issues that weren't sitting right with me. I started talking about issues that actually mattered, God gave me a vision to fulfill.” Ricketts stated. The genesis of Ricketts' impactful work in reflection of society started in high school. “In 2020, I came across this old notebook of an idea I brainstormed for a fundraiser event that involved fashion, music, and dance. Finding that notebook made me realize that fashion and social justice has always been within me,” she said. Ricketts studied Communications at The College of New Jersey, specializing in Radio, Television, and Film in addition to majoring in Journalism.

As founder of Harlem's Fashion Row, Brandice Daniel is a change agent. For more than 15 years, she has been working to bridge the gap between the fashion industry and Black and Latinx designers who often don't come from famous fashion schools like Parsons or FIT. Following the surge in interest in diversity, equity and inclusion following the murder of George Floyd, there are growing headwinds which are stalling progress.“We've regressed so far, so fast. It is really disappointing, especially in an industry that is supposed to be cutting edge … How can you be innovative without addressing DEI?” she says.This week on The BoF Podcast, BoF founder and editor-in-chief Imran Amed sits down with Daniel to discuss how the industry can foster real change. Key Insights:Harlem's Fashion Row was founded in 2007 — long before DEI became a corporate buzzword — after Daniel noticed how little diversity there was at US department stores. “[I] realised that less than 1 percent of the designers that were on those websites at the time were designers of colour, however … African-Americans were spending $22 billion a year on apparel. And that was when I really got my aha moment.”2020 was a pivotal year for Harlem's Fashion Row. After George Floyd's murder sparked global conversations around racism and representation, more fashion and retail brands opened the door to diversity. “It was very easy to tell during those days who was wanting to do very performative work versus who actually was interested in doing the work,” Daniel explains. “The companies who were doing the work before 2020, they are still doing the work.”Still, despite the momentum that 2020 brought, she's been disappointed in the lack of long-term action. “We've regressed so far, so fast. It is really disappointing, especially in an industry that is supposed to be cutting edge … How can you be innovative without addressing DEI?” she says. When it comes to finding your sense of purpose, Daniel believes in focusing on your goal, rather than the nitty-gritty of the process of achieving it. “Don't worry about the how. Just worry about the what and the why. If you focus on the what and the why and just allow the how to unfold as you just take one step forward, you will see that so many incredible things will happen.”Additional Resources:UK Fashion Industry Isn't Making Progress on Leadership Diversity, Report FindsA New Lawsuit Puts Fashion's Corporate Diversity Efforts in the Crosshairs Protecting Fashion's DEI Efforts During Market Disruption Hosted on Acast.

Virgil Abloh, Zelda Wynn Valdes, and Stephen Burrows are iconic and influential Black designers, but the fashion industry has had a long history of racism, classism, and nepotism. Host Roy Wood Jr. chats with Daily Show producer, Chelsea Williamson, CEO of Harlem's Fashion Row, Brandice Daniel & Editor in Chief at The Cut, Lindsay Peoples about the influence Black culture has had on fashion and the hurdles of breaking into the industry. They also discuss how Lindsay's 2018 article, “What's It Really Like to Be Black and Work in Fashion” opened the door for conversations about racism in the industry.

The most wonderful time of the year for style mavens is right around the corner and I'm not talking about Christmas. New York Fashion Week is quickly approaching and just in time for the festivities, I'm chatting it up with Brandice Daniel, the founder of Harlem's Fashion Row. HFR is the premier agency creating a bridge between brands and designers of color in fashion through brand strategy, collaborations, new media, experiential marketing, recruiting, and pipeline programs. Long before inclusivity became a widely accepted goal across the fashion industry, Harlem's Fashion Row has been championing and uplifting designers of color. Listen in and Brandice talks about her initial cliff-dive into entrepreneurship, how nurturing relationships has contributed to HFR's success, and why having clarity can elevate your brand. Produced by Dear Media
When some of us go through doors, we take them off their hinges. What does the future of fashion look like, and how do we get there? Featuring Aria Hughes, Brandice Daniel, Law Roach, Randy Cousin, Ade Samuel, Connor McKnight, Letesha Renee and Zairion Lester. Syllabus: Amidst the social turmoil of 2020, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Robin Givhan provides a bird's eye view in the critical piece, “Fashion's Racial Reckoning”. What does a fabric historically worn by Ghanian royalty have to do with Louis Vuitton, radical Black politics and sportswear? The essay, “Sporting Kente Cloth,” connects the dots and traces its heightened visibility to art and fashion visionary Virgil Abloh. A book for the streetwear connoisseur is The Incomplete: Highsnobiety Guide to Street Fashion and Culture, which covers the global influence of streetwear, featuring fashion luminaries the likes of Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, Ye (Kanye West) and Jaden Smith. A comprehensive volume on one of the most magnetizing fashion subjects in history, This is Not Fashion: Streetwear Past, Present and Future is ideal for enthusiasts looking to understand the roots and significant figures in streetwear. Bridging the past to the future: Meet the mother and daughter design duo behind House of Aama, as they explore “the folkways of the Black experience by designing timeless garments with nostalgic references informed by historical research, archival analysis, and storytelling.” This stylish book cover has been spotted on countless bookshelves and coffee tables, because its title, The New Black Vanguard: Photography between Art and Fashion, provides a long-awaited compilation of the newest and brightest Black photographers on the fashion scene today.

They fell in love with fashion. They remixed looks, dressed our favorite characters, ignited the industry, took what others might've seen as scraps and made them beautiful. They carved out a space for themselves. Featuring Jeffrey Banks, Ceci, Romeo Hunte, Law Roach, Letesha Renee, Darnell-Jamal Lisby, Miko Underwood, Brandice Daniel, Jasmine Guy, Connor McKnight, Monica Miller, April Walker, Monica Morrow, Boz Bradshaw and Randy Cousin. Syllabus: Throughout history, Black people have always had that “special sauce” that has created a style tradition that is uniquely resourceful and innovative. The book Stylin': African-American Expressive Culture, from Its Beginnings to the Zoot Suit takes us through that history. Black people have seen the influence of their style travel across the globe, and the book, How to Slay: Inspiration from the Queens and Kings of Black Style, provides a complete survey of how we “slay.” We all have a story about that certain thing we wore that made us feel special or seen. Dressed in Dreams: A Black Girl's Love Letter to the Power of Fashion inspires us to remember what those things were, and explains how it's vital in keeping our culture alive. When host Kimberly Jenkins had the opportunity to meet the late fashion legend André Leon Talley, he joined her at Parsons School of Design as she hosted a screening of the documentary, The Gospel According to André, in effort to give Talley his flowers. Fashion veteran Bethann Hardison also has a motherly connection to a “Different World” star referenced in our upcoming episode on HBCU style. How many Black fashion designers throughout history can you name? Podcast guest Elizabeth Way provides us with the much-needed book, Black Designers in American Fashion, as an essential reference guide. Guest Darnell-Jamal Lisby penned this profile on the admired Willi Smith and speaks about Smith's design approach in this episode. The late designer Patrick Kelly showed Black fashion design hopefuls just how far you could make it in an industry known for being famously exclusive. Which is why we recommend the piece, “Patrick Kelly Was the Jackie Robinson of High Fashion”. A contemporary of our podcast guest Jeffrey Banks, along with the late designers Willi Smith and Patrick Kelly, our profile on Stephen Burrows celebrates the fashion designer who dressed our bodies to dance and move.

Brandice Daniel is the embodiment of courage. A mission-driven, entrepreneur from Memphis Tennessee, Brandice Daniel's passion for the history of black fashion led her to create what we now know as ‘Harlem's Fashion Row.' What started as sheer creative vision led Brandice to create a new platform for black designers to finally be seen. Through persistence, creative exchange, and what she refers to as ‘cliff jumps' into the unknown, Daniel paved her own way as an industry outsider into the world of fashion by creating a stage for black designers. Brandice believes that in “finding the why,” developing connections, building a sustainable business strategy and enhanced marketing techniques, black designers can finally have the influence and legacy they so deserve.

John 14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments. When we love someone, we genuinely want to make them happy, not hurt them, and care for their best interest. That is the same way when you are in a relationship with God. My late Pastor, Bishop William Lee Bonner, would always have us read Deuteronomy 28 versus 1-14. His point was to show us the importance of obedience to God and His word. He made sure to let us know that we would have to go through stages to enjoy the blessings of God. If we put God first, we would see the fruit of the relationship. In this episode, I sit down and talk to my client Brandice Daniel, Founder of Harlem’s Fashion Row, about the importance of obeying God and how He has blessed her and her business. Listen to her testimony on how obedience leads her to start a non-profit that received a million-dollar donation. You will be amazed!!
As the fashion world grapples with its longstanding lack of diversity, Brandice Daniel is standing tall with open arms. The founder of Harlem’s Fashion Row established the organization back in 2007 as a way to funnel more multicultural designers into the notoriously white fashion industry. It’s clear that she was ahead of her time, but she’s just glad that others are finally catching up. “It’s been amazing to see so many people join the fight,” Daniel tells Bustle. “You can’t fix a 400-year-old problem in a few years with a few people on the frontlines. It’s going to take an army, and I feel like that army is being formed now with so many different amazing organizations and initiatives being created.” When she reflects back on the last 13 years, Daniel says that she’s most surprised by the scope of the partnerships she’s been able to forge between up-and-coming designers and big-name brands. Most recently, HFR teamed up with the children’s brand Janie and Jack, a collaboration that was inspired by her four-year-old daughter, Sky Grace. “This has been my favorite brand for her since birth,” she says. “To now have a full collaboration with them and three dope designers of color is a dream. My basement is full of our Janie and Jack samples right now. Every time I look at all these beautiful pieces created by Kimberly Goldson, Richfresh, and Kristian Lorén with the HFR logo, I smile.” HFR helped kick off NYFW this season with a digital activation on the first night of shows. The 13th annual runway show and Awards ceremony included appearances by fashion icons like Dapper Dan, Misa Hylton, and even Vogue EIC Anna Wintour. Among the award recipients, Pyer Moss designer Kerby Jean-Raymond was honored by Tracee Ellis Ross and Teen Vogue EIC Lindsay Peoples-Wagner by fashion icon Constance White. The event theme was “Black Is the New Black,” a nod to the fact that Black excellence in fashion is no passing trend. The runway portion featured the Fall 2020 collections of 3 Black designers, Kristian Lorén, Patrick Henry of Richfresh, and HFR mainstay Kimberly Goldson. Originally, the plan was to host several IRL events throughout the year and host a grand production for Fashion Week centered around the Janie and Jack collaboration. Of course, then the pandemic happened. “I had no idea how we would pivot at first,” Daniel shares. It wasn’t until she thought of another venture, ICON360, which creates funding options for BIPOC designers underrepresented in fashion, that all the pieces started to fit together. “When the idea for ICON360 came, I knew I had to figure it out because we had to raise money for designers of color,” Daniel says. “When you’re driven by something bigger than yourself, you figure it out. I believe that whenever we’re limited in some capacity, it forces us to do things in a new way.” While it may seem like Daniel never stops innovating, she’s the first to admit that this year has been full of challenges. “In the beginning of the pandemic, I felt so down and helpless,” she shares, adding that her self-care routine includes “a good hot bath” with a Harlem Candle Company candle and Kem playing in the background. Another key element for the entrepreneur was tapping into her desire to give back — not despite all the uncertainty but rather because of it. “The only thing that got me up and creative was serving,” she says. “We often think about what we’re getting out of life, but something amazing happens when we start to give. Giving is how I stay motivated.”
When you’re burnt out on your calendar, but not on your mission, what’s your next play? For fashion designer, Brandice Daniel, stepping back with a “if it’s meant to be” mindset brought the biggest opportunity of her life- leading a team of women designers to create a shoe for Nike.

Harlem Fashion Row’s Brandice Daniel, Black in Fashion Council Co-Founder Sandrine Charles and creative consultant Henrietta Gallina on actionable anti-racism steps brands must take to move the industry forward. NEW YORK, United States — The anti-racism protests that erupted across the US over the last two months have brought conversations around racism in the fashion industry to the fore. In the latest #BoFLIVE event, BoF’s Lauren Sherman spoke with Harlem Fashion Row Chief Executive Brandice Daniel, Sandrine Charles Consultancy Founder Sandrine Charles as well as brand and creative consultant Henrietta Gallina about combatting systemic racism in the fashion industry. In order to implement meaningful change, brands must introduce clear, public goals for which they are accountable. Vague, performative messages will no longer suffice as employees and consumers put pressure on brands to deliver actionable progress. “When we talk about the problem, I always come back to equity and that’s what I’m striving for,” said Gallina. “We are no longer asking for the industry to support us, we are asking for the power structures to be rebuilt.” Companies must be holistic in their approach when tackling racism in the workplace. “It absolutely starts at the leadership level and C-suite level,” Daniel said. “Black people have set the foundation for the fashion industry but we’ve never held leadership roles.” Hiring a D&I chief, while a step in the right direction, doesn’t hold much weight if anti-racism measures aren’t implemented throughout the business, both from the bottom up and the top down. “What’s really important is that everyone else acknowledges where they have a privilege in this industry,” said Charles, who is also the co-founder of the Black in Fashion Council. “Moving forward, they also have to do the work.” Charles, Daniel and Gallina all underscored the importance of introspection and then action, particularly from white and non-Black people. Committed allies are a crucial step to moving the fashion industry forward. “It’s essential that we do the work with everyone because there are various spaces that we don’t have access to,” Charles said.

The process of securing partnerships and brand deals can feel overwhelming. Who do you pitch to? How did you get a foot in the door and what do you say when you do? Is there a formula in determining how much capital you need to raise and when you're starting out, how do you prove to a brand that you're event or brand is worth investing in. These are just some of the questions we posed to Brandice Daniel, CEO of Harlem's Fashion Row and co-founder of the Great Girlfriends podcast. Founded in 2007, Harlem's Fashion Row began as a passion project, aiming to raise the visibility of multicultural fashion designers. Over the years, she has not only secured over $2million in events sponsorships with the likes of Target, Smartwater and Macy's, she has also generated media partnerships for her events with the likes of the New York Times, Washington Post, Teen Vogue and Forbes.

Welcome back! The 5th Annual You Are Stronger Than You Think Women's Conference was at the beginning of this month. Here are my 3 big takeaways: One word or idea that came to heart in this planning process was my need for validation. God silenced that doubt. I thought this would be our last year, but I believe we’re just getting started. All that we’ve learned has positioned us for what’s next. My assignment is for the Christian woman in the marketplace. Our Keynote Speaker was Brandice Daniel, the founder of Harlem's Fashion Row. She shared her journey of growing her company for the last 11 years. Brandice's definition of a Cliff Jump? "A cliff jump is taking an action towards your goal despite your qualifications, the fear you feel about how things will turn out, what people will say, your lack of confidence or the doubt you might have about your own worthiness." ************ What was your takeaway from this message?

HFR was founded in 2007 with the main focus being to provide a voice for multicultural designers; through a creative platform that enables these designers to sell and present their collections to key leaders within the fashion industry. My favorite thing about this interview is Brandice’s transparency. She pours herself out in this interview and gives us a peak behind the glamour of running a fashion business in New York. She’s been on her entrepreneurial journey for over a decade. I’m highlighting Brandice first for 2 reasons, she’s our featured keynote and because I believe her story epitomizes our core values of courage, confidence and consistency. She is a woman of faith who is thriving in the fashion, arts and entertainment industry. I can’t wait for you to meet her!

The intrigue of entrepreneurship was always within Brandice Daniel when she was an adventurous child growing up in Memphis, and it was always around her thanks to her entrepreneurial parents. But when it was time to go to college, Brandice "played it safe" by selecting the major that her parents had in mind for her: pre-med. That is until she got real with herself and decided to take the first of many leaps that would punctuate her career for years to come: She was going to work in fashion. Many brave leaps and "cliff jumps" later, and Brandice is now the creator and CEO of one of the fashion industry's premier annual events -- Harlem's Fashion Row, which she began in 2007 to help shine the light on designers and boutique owners of color who were often left out of the mainstream spotlight. But the journey to down the runway to success was far from seamless and glamorous. On this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, Brandice speaks candidly about lessons learned, how she survived the very deep valleys, how she renegotiated the "nos" along the way, and how she's now creating courses, expanding her brand and building a powerful community surrounded by great girlfriends and supporting fashion stars of the future. On this episode you will learn: How to know when you're "on the right floor."How to pay attention to the thing that you're dream to.Why proximity is power.A step back is different than a setback.How to make sure you stand out with your "ask."The importance of taking inspired action when that bright idea hits you.The importance of the "cliff jump."The biggest lesson she learned about sponsorships.Figuring out the times of day that you are most productive.Why you have to meet the universe halfway.

Join us on the episode as we sit down with Brandice Daniel, the founder of Harlem's Fashion Row, to discuss the significance of bridging the gap between black brands and corporate entities in the fashion industry. Over the course of the conversation, we delve into the disparities faced by black designers when collaborating with corporate partners, the impact of social media on the industry, and the potential for creating infrastructure to support black-owned fashion brands.Brandice takes us on a journey beginning in 2009, when she discovered that less than 1% of designers featured on department store websites were black, despite black consumers spending $22 billion annually on apparel. This stark contrast led her to question why black designers were underrepresented and how to address these disparities. Through her platform, Harlem's Fashion Row, Brandice has been instrumental in creating opportunities for emerging black designers.We explore the concept of collaborations between black designers and corporate brands, such as the successful partnership between Nicole Benefield and Abercrombie and Fitch. Brandice shares how such collaborations provide exposure to new audiences while allowing designers to focus on their craft, ultimately empowering them to grow their businesses. She also emphasizes the importance of identifying emerging talent and character when selecting designers to work with corporate partners.The conversation extends to the role of social media, where Brandice highlights its impact in providing a glimpse into a designer's world and facilitating connections. Despite the challenges faced by black designers, the data indicates that there is a significant opportunity for growth, with projections showing that black consumers are poised to spend $70 billion annually on apparel by 2030.Our discussion further delves into the potential for a dedicated infrastructure to support black brands, drawing parallels to the success of holding companies like LVMH in the luxury fashion sector. Brandice outlines how such infrastructure could alleviate the challenges faced by small businesses, particularly in areas such as cash flow and operational support. This vision aligns with the consumer readiness to support black brands and signals a compelling opportunity for investors and corporate entities.As the conversation progresses, parallels are drawn between the fashion industry and other sectors, such as the intersection of corporate and hip-hop, highlighting the transformative impact of synergies between industries. The discourse also references the need for a unifying umbrella, akin to LVMH, to provide support and opportunities for black designers to thrive together.Join us for a thought-provoking dialogue that unearths the complexities within the fashion industry and outlines the untapped potential for empowering black designers through strategic corporate partnerships and dedicated infrastructure.#FashionIndustry #BlackDesigners #CorporatePartnerships #FashionEntrepreneurship #EmpoweringBlackCreatives #HarlemsFashionRow #BrandiceDaniel #FashionCollaborations #InfrastructureSupport #BlackOwnedBrands #EYLMedium #EYLCommunity #EYLConversationsOur Sponsors:* Check out Kajabi and use my code EARN for a great deal: https://kajabi.com/ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
