Asia is pursuing a degree in design at Howard University. She is building a socially responsible fashion line that will evolve into the areas of wearable technology, retail and wholesale industries. One of her goals is to exhibit in D.C. Fashion Week. Asia is a costume designer for Howard Players, which is a performing arts organization at Howard University that has been active since 1919. In addition, she interns with the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship – a business education program.
Asia stays so motivated by refining her goals every six-month – whether it be personal records to break, community service projects to complete, places to travel to, or career moves to embark on – she is leaving her legacy.
