SHARP ACADEMY

SHARP Academy, a pre-professional organization for 130 middle school students, brought eight alumni back for a panel discussion, breakout sessions, and professional workshops. The alumni’s career work spanned media, fashion, law, finance, education, politics, and more. During one of the workshops, male students were taught to tie ties and given quality ties to take home. Female students were given a set of pearls and guided through strategies to define their own beauty standards.
