In this episode of "Stitching a New Reality: Turning Rejection into Revolution," we delve into the inspiring journey of Jermikko Johnson, Chicago's first African American fashion designer and manufacturer. From her beginnings on a plantation to designing for Beyoncé, Jermikko's story is a testament to the power of resilience and innovation in the face of systemic exclusion. We explore how she, along with trailblazers like Ann Lowe, Zelda Wynn Valdes, and Patrick Kelly, transformed barriers into breakthroughs, reshaping the fashion industry and expanding possibilities for future generations. Join us as we uncover the lessons these pioneers teach us about refusing to accept "no" as the final answer and creating a world where only "yes" remains.
