She started the charity reWEARable, which collects new, gently used dresses, shoes and accessories for girls who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford them for prom. reWEARable is a non profit organization with the mission to provide young girls with a newfound confidence. Through donations, this charity provides dresses and accessories to girls for prom who may not otherwise be able to afford them. ReWEARable also strives to improve the urban Detroit area by making young girls feel special and beautiful on prom night.
