Local News: Evening to inspire right attitude
The moment fashion designer
David Spencer
heard Maya Angelou recite
her poem, Phenomenal
Woman, his life changed. He
knew he wanted his creations
to make women feel
like the woman in the poem
— beautiful and confident.
Although this moment of
inspiration happened
decades ago, it lead him to
successfully create a modest
fashion empire in Toronto
that focuses on leather-crafted
fashions like hats, belts
and purses as well as his signature
women’s wear.
In an effort to experience
the same kind of change that
happened in him years ago,
Spencer is taking a group of
individuals for an evening
with the legendary Maya
Angelou at Roy Thomson
Hall tomorrow at 7:30.
Included in the group are
at-risk youths and at-risk
women. He says some of the
kids he will be taking have
been victims of abuse, experienced
life on the streets, or
encountered barriers in their
lives that prevent them from
reaching their full potential.
“The mission of the David
Spencer Inspired Evening is
to introduce and expose people
to environments where
they can be empowered to
find their inner strength,” he
says. “If people are exposed
to someone, who overcame
their own diversities, it will
make them think, ‘if they
can do it, I can do it.’”
To find out how you can
attend tomorrow’s event, or
if you would like to sponsor
a candidate for the David
Spencer Inspired Evening,
