Why is the Beyond Fashion program necessary in today's world?

"This workshop has been truly inspirational and interactive. Addressing the topic of modesty with my two daughters had been a challenge, leading to daily conflicts. Lula's ability to explain, in a simple yet profound manner, why fashion is a means of communication and how clothes protect our intimacy was remarkable. She not only captured the attention of my 14, 10 and 7-year-old daughters throughout the workshop but also motivated them to reassess their clothing choices according to their values. Impressive!"

"As my daughters enter their teenage years, the struggle to bolster their confidence and counter the pressures of social media promoting a sexier image has been daunting. This workshop is a much-needed response to today's society. My daughter not only actively participated but also genuinely enjoyed herself, having fun while learning valuable lessons."

"The workshop created a unique bonding experience for my daughter and me, allowing us to grow in confidence together. It illuminated the powerful role of fashion in communicating our inherent dignity as daughters of God. The interactive activities and engaging narratives from Lula made learning about fashion enjoyable. I particularly appreciated the insights into the wardrobe of the Virgin Mary, which serves as a meaningful example for us"

"This experience has been truly wonderful for both my daughter and me. It's often challenging to find a speaker who seamlessly blends our Catholic faith, values, and fashion. The examples shared were remarkably practical and easily comprehensible for my daughter. I appreciated how the speaker conveyed the connection between modesty and chastity, and how she beautifully highlighted the Virgin Mary as an inspiring role model for us."

This workshop has been a truly eye-opening experience for my daughter. She used to spend her entire weekly allowance on clothes, but after attending this workshop, her perspective has shifted significantly. She's now acutely aware of the hardships often hidden in the clothing production process. Consequently, she's developed a newfound appreciation for her clothes and has even started shopping at second-hand stores. Moreover, she's mastered the art of creating multiple outfits from a single piece to reduce unnecessary consumerism. The impact of this workshop on young girls is truly remarkable, and I feel immensely thankful for the opportunity to have been a part of it.

My daughter was deeply immersed in the world of social media, despite not having her own phone. Whenever she was with friends, they would record videos and dance for online content. However, after attending this workshop, she gained a significant realization about the importance of safeguarding her body's privacy. I overheard her explaining this concept to her friends, demonstrating the profound impact the workshop had on her perspective. Not only did the workshop bring about a positive change in her, but she was also inspired to influence those around her positively.

Workshops like this are truly essential for us to carve out time to bond and deeply connect with our daughters. I was moved to tears by the profound value exercise we did initially; I never anticipated my daughter's perspective about me. The impact of the workshop was so evident when we went for dinner afterwards – my daughter couldn't stop discussing everything she absorbed. Her newfound aspiration to work in fashion showcases the incredible influence of an inspirational speaker like Lula. This experience was transformative, evoking strong emotions, and for that, I'm sincerely thankful.

efore the workshop, my daughter used to dress rather frumpily. However, after attending the workshop, she gained a profound understanding that every time we dress, it's not only a reflection of our human dignity, but also a way of presenting a gift of pleasant appearance to others. This awareness, especially for our family, has led her to put more effort into how she presents herself, recognizing that our presence is a constant influence in their lives. I'm thrilled to see her even making an effort to put herself together at home. The workshop's impact is truly remarkable.
