Why We Exist
From The Founer
"As a mother raising three sons, I built this organization from lived experiences. I know the weight of needing support and not having it. That journey, and the power of art SAVED MY LIFE. This is why I created the Fashion Umbrella Foundation: to help others thrive, not just survive."
— Sharan Nixon, Founder & Executive Director
