The rhythmic hum of the sewing machine has been the soundtrack of my life for as long as I can remember. That steady mechanical purr,accompanied by the soft swish of fabric and the subtle click of scissors forms a melody that guided me from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to thebustling streets of New York City.I often encourage young people to embrace sewing as an art form. In a world of fast fashion and disposable clothing, there's somethingmagical about creating a garment with your own hands. I want the younger generation to understand the value of this skill, not just as ahobby but as a potential career path. I want to do my part to keep this art alive.
