Free summer program teaches kids inner workings of fashion, entrepreneurship

A free summer program dreamed up by a Cincinnati nonprofit is aimed at teaching kids the inner workings of entrepreneurship, fashion and everything in between. Ashley Zepahua is exactly the kind of kid the founders of Bigger Than Sneakers had in mind when starting the Bigger Than Sneakers Academy. "I’ve always created and tailored my own clothes,” Zepahua said. “I’m not very tall so I don’t fit into a lot of stuff.” The Grant County High School junior already crochets and sews. Now, she gets the chance to learn even more skills. This program immerses kids like her in the fashion industry and teaches them entrepreneurial skills.
