OUR ORIGIN STORYFashion Works blossomed from the belief that kids learn best by doing! Founded by the dynamic Tenin "Ms. T" Terrell, an award-winning singer/songwriter (Fox, Oxygen, TLC), and savvy entrepreneur, we're all about creating engaging and inspiring learning experiences.
With over a decade of child development expertise and firsthand experience as an after-school site director, Tenin knew the struggles kids faced in building confidence and self-expression. She crafted a robust curriculum alongside classroom educators and industry experts to alleviate that pressure, nurturing kids' God-given gifts and sparking new talents. Tenin's journey from the stage to the classroom started when she felt the pull to be more present for her young family. Wanting to make a community impact and boost household income, she prayed for inspiration and embraced her passion for fashion design with a unique "edu-tainment" twist. That's how Fashion Works was born. Our mission is clear: enrich children's lives and empower entrepreneurs to run their own successful Fashion Works businesses. We're proud to support children's enrichment providers nationwide, helping them inspire young minds and support their families. |
