Rip the Runway for Justice: Fashion is the Statement was the theme of this year’s event, supported by a fashion show directed by Torrie Danielle Sanders. This year’s theme, “Fashion is the Statement,” anchored the annual event honoring the legacy of Michael Brown. “A story about legacy, justice, healing, mental health, wellness and the power of knowing that our voices matter.” “After losing my son, Michael Brown Jr., I never imagined this journey would grow into a movement focused on healing, hope and opportunity for others,” Michael Brown Sr. said.
