CNN Freedom Project Feature

by | Feb 20, 2019

It has been over a month since our official Southwest AirlinesĀ® X Project Runway All Stars product launch. We thought things may have slowed down a bit after this exciting launch, but we are thankful to report that we are still in full swing! We were blessed to have CNN International reach out for an interview!

We knew that our Finance and Administration Lead, Renata Bryant, was the right person to be interviewed by CNN International. Her story is one of inspiration and hard work. In her interview, Renata talks about how she came to Rethreaded not knowing what her purpose was or what her skills were. She had come to a place in her life where she was ready to give up, but Renanda took the most important step anyone can take in life; she showed up. Through this process Renata has excelled in her professional and personal life; an inspiration to so many by having her record expunged. We are so proud of Renata and are very excited for this opportunity.

Irina Shabayeva also appeared in the CNN segment, talking about the importance of our new product line which was inspired by her winning design from Project Runway All Stars. She was able to highlight the work we are doing here at Rethreaded by providing a place for survivors of human trafficking to grow and thrive.
