Banda said that, given enough help, she would prefer to do a live show.
She likes working with others and feeding off the energy of a group.
“I like to be in the moment with other people,” she said.
She thinks the younger people in the community would likely be more excited for a live show.
“I definitely believe that a lot of youth are into fashion but there’s nothing really for them,” Banda said.
The fashion show could show them that, even in a small town, they can learn about fashion and put the knowledge to use.
Banda works at Denison Job Corps in placement.
She likes helping the students find jobs after they leave the program – and she believes the same skills she uses there will be helpful with the fashion show.
“I like helping people find what really fuels their passion,” Banda said. “I want to keep that creative part of the fashion show and have a platform to build on.”
She said the 2019 fashion show was a learning experience – and the main lesson was that she needs more help behind the scenes.
“It was hard to keep track of everybody,” she said.
