Join Patrice Jinso-Springer from Your Image 2020, an organization that brings awareness and partners with private and public sectors to help individuals that have been marginalized through different factors such as incarceration, homelessness, incarceration, drug or substance abuse or any other factor that may have led one being unemployed.
Your Image 2020 provides a vehicle that private and public sectors, including social service providers, government agencies, corporations and individuals can share their passion by assisting these individuals in their own way, be it monetary or through clothing donations.
Your Image 2020 does not give "hand outs" rather a "hand up" to help individuals look at themselves in their reflection and see a positive image of someone that can succeed. The cliche that Beauty Comes From Within, goes with their philosophy of dressing people from "the inside out".
In this interactive conversation, we will connect on and learn from a wonderful man who thought he had not future after being incarcerated for 40 years. Hear from him directly on how Your Vision 2020 has turned his life around and is continuing to do the same for so many others that are needing helping both during and after Covid. We look forward to having you join us as we listen, learn and engage in this conversation:
- How people are marginalized by their situations, i.e. being homeless, coming out of incarceration, older worker, in going back to work.
- It is more about building self esteem and self confidence, rather than just giving them a suit to look nice or a dress to feel pretty
- I will have someone who spent 42 years in incarceration talk about his experience getting his first suit, later helping other people that are in his situation
- In the new place we are at, we will be training clients in our closet (once COVID lets up) to get work experience but also the ability to help other people because they had their life experience.
Patrice Jinso-Springer, in her own words “I am a person who believes that beauty comes from the inside out. My passion and experience in providing clothing to people come from over 30 years experience in Education and Life long learning. I not only “talk the talk” but I have “walked the walk” working throughout the diverse communities of Los Angeles.”
