This lotus flower, designed by Sarah Manning, represents the eternal place that her 14 year old brother, Antoine, who was fatally shot on Halloween night in Washington, DC in 2022, has in all of our hearts.

Sarah is the youngest graduate of the entrepreneurship program and has handled her own since her first day. She came in knowing exactly what she wanted to get out of the program and made sure it happened. Her tenacity and leadership exuded each time she walked through the door. Everything we asked her to do, she delivered; and did so with grace and humility. Sarah honored her older brother, Antonie, by graduating at the top of the class.

She explained that this image that can be made in any color, and her clothing brand itself, provides a way for those who are no longer here with us to remain alive by way of their loved ones.

Feeling 'Alive' is truly all we really have. Let’s hold on to that thought and help to keep Sarah's dreams alive by supporting what she's created. #ALIVE
