“We are just out here letting different vendors showcase their products,” BSA Vice President Dailyn Tichenor said. “It’s just different people coming out and showcasing what they’ve got.”

Jahari Burnett, senior and owner of Kozy Vintage, discussed how his business promotes people finding comfort in whatever they want to wear.

“We are basically a vintage clothing store,” Burnett said. “In thrifting, you could get a multitude of different clothing, and everyone has their specific style so every style is therefore somebody’s.”

Students of all years participated in the event. Freshman Millie LeJeune, CEO of Millie’s Miracles T-shirts, was there with a booth to promote her christian-based clothing line.

“It is a God-based clothing line,” LeJeune said. “All of our clothes are unisex. We will be having a fall line release on Oct. 12.”

The tables were filled with a variety of other businesses as well such as Honey Dews, Lux Bands and Wonderfully Waisted.
