Black people only represent 3% of designers in the footwear industry. This has to change. Our goal at DSW is to increase diversity within the footwear design world, starting with our partnership with Dr. D’Wayne Edwards, President of Pensole Lewis College of Business & Design. We’re making our largest investment into the first Black-owned U.S. footwear factory—JEMS by PENSOLE—to produce shoes designed by students of the college. We hope that you’ll follow along with us over the next several months for updates, announcements, and opportunities to get involved. #MyDSW . . . . . #blackhistorymonth #diversityandinclusion #footweardesign #elevate #staytuned
