From Menervia Akers: FMA is now a nonprofit!
Fashion Monger Academy, Inc. is dedicated to bridging the lifestyle education gap for low-income single parents and their families by providing access to practical knowledge, resources, mentorship, and transformative educational experiences.
Our mission is to elevate, empower, and enlighten individuals and families by connecting them with opportunities that support personal development, financial education, health and wellness, beauty and image, culinary education, home and interior living, spirituality, and overall quality of life.
