Gabrielle Crichlow interviews Tamara Dopwell, the founder of one of our sponsoring organizations, Designs by Tee. Designs By Tee was initiated when a Brooklyn social worker named Tee realized she did not have the money necessary to provide assistance to individuals she came into contact with on a day-to-day basis. After a discussion with a colleague, she decided to find a way to fund her efforts independently. Social workers are known to be innovative, but not always fashionably creative. Her strong faith in God and love for humanity is the driving force behind her inspiration in design. As a graduate of Pennsylvania State University and NYU, her career has been centered around children and families. She has worked in a variety of settings, but she finds working with disadvantaged children and families to be her purpose. Tee is innovative, creative, and humble, and continues to remain true to her passion. It is for this reason that 10% of all sales go to providing assistance to local disadvantaged children and families in Brooklyn NYC. The number of homeless people now in shelters is around 63,000. When you support Designs By Tee, not only will you look fashionable but you are also helping to reach someone in need. She continues to consult various programs throughout the city and fosters social enterprise by collaborating with other small business owners (local print shops and graphic designers).
