Show Up, TJ and Secure the Bag
We are SO PROUD of our Thomas Jefferson High School Girl Action Team for their flawless execution of the Show Up, TJ, and Secure the Bag Fashion Show. Nearly 200 community members came out to support the show, with plenty of media there to capture the story. We want to thank all of our panelists, our emcees and commentators, sponsor DTLR, the RVA FASHION WEEK team, our coaches, and volunteers for making it happen. What a show! Here are some highlights.
