Event producers Brittany Hicks, Jessica Couch and Ellie Zambrano welcomed a packed house at Fig & Olive in New York for the semi-annual Women of Color FashTech Brunch. The event was inspiring and empowering, providing a platform for women working in fashion, tech and media to discuss a wide range of topics including diversity, inclusion and the need to create pathways for professional fulfillment and advancement.
Panelists included Uzunma Udeh, senior finance analyst of global markets at ASOS, Kelly Stickel of the retail consultancy firm Remodista, C-Suite Coach Founder Angelina Darrisaw-Cheeks and Jessica Couch of Luxor and Finch, who also co-produced the event.
The event is the brainchild of Brittany Hicks, founder of Girls in Fashion & Technology (GIFT); fit technology consultant Jessica Couch of Luxor and Finch; and Geek of Chic Founder Ellie Zambrano, who each recognize the lack of community for women of color in the fashion and tech space.
