School fashion programme helping young women find self-worth

June 10, 2019

Dressed in Confidence is also helping women in the work place to feel empowered through fashion.

Nora Swann has been running Dressed in Confidence in schools and work spaces for the past four years.

DIC is a programme that empowers women to know their self-worth and gives them the confidence needed to achieve their goals and live their dream.

She recently hosted a fashion show which raised funds for a Dressed in Confidence Wellness Centre to be established in South Auckland in 2020.

Tagata Pasifika met with Nora to talk to her about the programme that is changing lives.

Watch the full interview above.
