THE ADVOCACY WAY
Look good on the outside, feel good on the inside.
WHAT’S RIGHT IS RIGHT
Wasabi Transformations LLC is a cognizance awareness fashion line created in 2019 by Vanessa Jennings, a native of Sumter, South Carolina. An inspiring social change agent who's passionate about uplifting the promotion of holistic mental health awareness.
Vanessa's experience for the sake of adversity and her compassion to make a difference in the life of others is one she uses as a sense of empowerment for Wasabi Transformations garments that are fashioned with resiliency and empathy. As a woman, who always finds a way to smile despite the rushing of life circumstances, she found her voice. Finding her voice gave her the notion to create clothing with empowering and educating messages to reflect the limited awareness of mental health in urban and other underserved communities.
