Who I am and Where I'm Headed

 
Kandise V. Segura
25 years young

I'm an entrepreneur in the fashion industry. My main ambition in life right now is to some day become a business owner. the first stop is education. In 2011 I received my A.A.A. in Fashion Marketing and Business Management at the Art Institute of Seattle. I'm back for round two and working on my B.A. in Fashion Design. To get the best of both worlds.

Of course a goal is to be successful but in my case while building a brand and business from the ground up, I would like to be successful in making a difference in this world. Locally, and worldwide some day, focusing on our youth. Maybe provide for those who don't have the luxury of a reliable food source, shelter or even a pillow for that matter. Maybe to local students and schools who are less fortunate and to those teachers who have to pay out of pocket for supplies or even for the students who don't have money for school lunch everyday. In some way shape or form my goal is to make an impact on our future investments, our youth. My main inspiration comes from my nephew, who is 3 years old going on four in July, and thinking about his future. Who he will choose to be and how lucky he is to have that privilege.

I come from a family who has worked hard to get to where we are. For starters my father. He started from nothing and made it into something for his wife and two children. I want to promote this lifestyle through fashion and encourage those who have given up on opportunities. To remind them that there is always HOPE. Teams succeed because the players build each other up and by doing their part. The same can go for this world and our individual communities. We all start from somewhere but together we can go anywhere.
