On Tuesday September 24th, The Angle Center hosted Suzanne Mckenzie founder and CEO of AbleMade- the original off pitch soccer style bran that combines soccer inspired apparel and accessories with responsible manufacturing and giving back!
Suzanne spoke to students about the challenges and successes of starting a sustainable fashion business. Students also participated in a Q&A AND an @ablemade giveaway!
If you couldn’t make it, here were some highlights!
• Suzanne described how able made uses fabrics from Burberry to create their products! While it creates a high quality product for able made, it solves a very large waste problem for Burberry!
• Suzanne highlighted the significant challenges that female founders face when raising funding- but she didn’t let that stop her from raising 1.2 MILLION 👏🏼
• Suzanne noted the importance of taking care of your mental and physical health in order to be successful
