A brief description of The Fashion Community
Where creativity becomes a catalyst for change
The Fashion Community (TFC) was born out of a deep understanding of a challenge so many of us face—the struggle to truly connect, to feel seen, to advocate for ourselves, and to embrace who we are unapologetically. Founded by Priscila Teixeira, TFC was created to spark something greater: the courage to unlock creativity, the power to build confidence, and the drive to shape a more balanced, meaningful life. Too often, creativity is dismissed as frivolous, and sustainability feels overwhelming. But we believe both are essential for thriving—not just surviving—in today’s world.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit human services agency, TFC is dedicated to fostering creativity and empowerment for individuals and organizations from all walks of life. Rooted in the impactful learning initiatives of Columbus Fashion Academy, TFC extends this legacy, championing creativity as a vital life skill—essential for building confidence, self-discovery, and connection. We believe creativity is not a luxury or an elective pursuit; it’s the foundation for problem-solving, leadership, and growth.
Through workforce development programs, certification courses, and engaging events across Central Ohio, TFC equips individuals with tools to unlock their potential and make meaningful change. By nurturing both the logical and imaginative sides of the brain, we demonstrate how creativity fuels innovation, fosters balance, and strengthens communities.
At the same time, we tackle the urgent need for sustainability, empowering individuals to take action for a healthier planet. Together, we’re building bridges—between people, ideas, and solutions—that lead to a more connected, balanced, and sustainable future for all.
TFC isn’t just about teaching skills—it’s a movement to transform lives and communities. Through creativity, we show people their potential; through connection, we empower them to lead and inspire others. When you join TFC, you’re not just part of an organization—you’re part of a mission to ignite change, one person at a time. Together, we can create a world where everyone feels empowered to lead with their heart, their hands, and their unique gifts. It starts with you. Let’s make it happen.
