Business owner Tatiyana Wilson dug deep into her own pockets, so kids would have what they need, despite the higher cost of nearly all items students need.
For families on 17th Street, in North Philadelphia, buying school supplies has always been a real struggle. That’s why Tatiyana Wilson, who runs Brownskin Girls LLC wanted to dig deep into her own pockets, so kids would have what they need, despite higher costs. She also reached out to her friends and nearby neighbors to chip in and, without any sponsors, filled 100 backpacks on their own.
"Make sure that nobody feel alone. That’s my whole point. You know, it’s enough of a tragedy and bad happens in the world, so I wanna be the good in the world and leave my mark with doing something good," Wilson explained. "I think it’s great, during this time, because of inflation and everything happening with Philadelphia, in general. So, I think it’s great to give back to the community," Jasair Taylor said.
