About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

The Kehrein Center presents the second event in our series, "Sustaining Women, Sustaining The World". Fleye, Free, and Forward: An ILAVA Function, is a fashion showcase merging wearable art with social consciousness. Owners Rahel & Mwasi Mwitula present ILAVA’s socially responsible fashion, promoting sustainable living for Tanzanian women. Kelley D. Moseley of K~Fleye jewelry joins to highlight her collections of one-of-one jewelry, accessories and handbags, and share her entrepreneurial journey. Both brands celebrate African & African American styles.

This 3-Event Series that commences on International Women’s Day has been curated to magnify the leadership of women of color related to environment, sustainable resources, and economic development. Each of these events will highlight the work of women of color, both locally and globally, as we illuminate the ways that women work intersectionally and across a range of contexts to support one another in our collective fight for equity, liberation, and economic participation in ways that preserve land, promote economic accessibility, and cause ecological flourishing. Join us for this exciting series to take place between March 8th - April 19th at the Kehrein Center for the Arts!

Each event will provide plant-based bites and one (1) drink ticket per guest; doors open at 5:00pm.
