Samantha’s Presentation
From School to International Fashion Runways
A young woman’s interest-driven journey towards a successful microenterprise
Presented by Tia Semi, Gina Semi, and Samantha Powell
Follow Tia and her team on their journey of discovering meaningful employment for Tia, driven by her interests.
Tia’s journey began with a desire to ensure her post-school life was not dominated by screens and solitude. She had an interest in fashion, design, and modelling. Her team explored this interest with her and tested creative methods of designing that didn’t involve sketching or drawing. As a result of this process, Tia has created her successful fashion label, Funk N Soul 97, and has become a runway model.
In this presentation, Tia walks us through every step of creating her Polynesian-inspired fashion ranges to show the unique ways she works.
You will learn about
- the support Tia received along the way
- how Tia’s business is structured to be sustainable, and
- how you can get started on your own Microenterprise journey.
