Break Free NYFW Announces Guest Speakers and Performers Including AGT’s Wyn Starks
The Break Free NYFW Designer Showcase is being held on Saturday, February 11th, at Daylight Studios. Doors open at 5 pm, with the show beginning at 6 pm.
Some of the proceeds from this showcase will go towards the Break Free Foundation's scholarship fund, which provides scholarships for those seeking treatment for a substance use disorder through attending a rehabilitation center and outpatient program.
For the upcoming Break Free showcase, our guest speakers include Kimberly Blair, the Director of Public Policy and Advocacy for NAMI NYC, and Christine Jeberg the Director of Operations for BigVision.
Kimberly Blair of NAMI will be announcing a new support group for co-occurring illnesses and recruiting new members of NAMI’s co-occurring illnesses subcommittee. Blair will also speak on the policy initiatives of NAMI, including urging for the passage of Daniel’s Law, which would set up state and regional mental health units to deal with mental health issues easing the responsibilities of police officers.
Performing on the runway will be modern-day genre-bender, Wyn Starks, who was the semi-finalist for Season 17 of America’s Got Talent. Starks will be performing his hit single, “Who I Am”, which is “that story of me finally blossoming into me. I still have ways to go, but I finally let him out,” Starks said in an interview with Earmilk.
