Shortstack

Shortstack™ is a teen driven fashion and modeling program. Its goal is to allow young girls who do not fit the "normal" model standards to be a part of charitable fashion events. For years, girls have been rejected from the modeling industry because they are too short. Shortstack was created by teens under the guidance of Windows of Opportunity, Inc. (wooshortstack.org) to give these "short" girls a chance at achieving their dreams as models and empower them to love themselves for who they are.

Despite being 5'1", Shortstack provided me with an opportunity to participate in community service/charity events, photo shoots, workshops, trainings, rehearsals, field trips, and fashion shows to change the standards within the modeling industry.

Innovative Empowerment

To create not just the normal empowerment and leadership approaches but to develop programs that are unique, original and use other means to create synergy to make a difference. Innovative empowerment programs transcends the basic lessons of life and creates a platform to have lessons put into action within society. The word was coined by the programs at Windows of Opportunity, Inc. (www.wooinc.org) and Dance of the Butterfly (www.danceofthebutterfly.com).

The HIV Program at Windows of Opportunity is an innovative empowerment program because it educates on HIV Awareness and in addition trains us how to coordinate workshops and conferences, so we can save the lives of hundreds.
