To encourage year-round dialogue beyond #BlackHistoryMonth, members of the Black, African and African American + Allies Community@Express Group held a celebratory and informative discussion on “Legacies in Fashion Through the Black Perspective.” The panel featured special guests Kyle Bridgeforth, Tasha L., Kimberly Lee Minor, Cydni M. Robertson, PhD, and UpWest’s Rob Smith. “Speaking on this panel was a full-circle moment for me. My grandmother used to give me all the money she had to purchase my school books so I could be afforded the opportunities that allowed me to be here..It’s a part of my legacy to pay it forward and be a resource to help others.” —Rob Smith, Head of Sourcing & Product Development, UpWest. #ExpressTogether
