The FOOD Club is a healing-centered, fashion-based identity program launching its pilot year at Pittsburgh Barack Obama Academy during the 2025–2026 school year. This innovative club is designed to support students in grades 6–12 as they explore self-expression, creativity, and confidence through the world of fashion.

Weekly sessions will focus on everything from mood boards and color theory to thrift flips, creative writing, affirmations, and styling challenges. The curriculum is beginner-friendly and requires no prior fashion experience—just curiosity and imagination.

What sets the FOOD Club apart is its focus on emotional wellness and identity development through fashion. The program ends with a showcase called "I Am the Blueprint," where students will present their personal fashion journeys to peers, families, and the community.

The FOOD Club is about more than style—it’s about substance, self-love, and showing up as your true self.
