Yesterday we had an exciting day with the Tory Burch team! Current TI participants and alumni had a chance to tour the sample room, connect with the sustainability and product development teams, and learn how ideas move from concept to final product.

One of the most valuable opportunities within the Training Institute is giving participants direct access to industry leaders and a behind-the-scenes look at the many moving parts of a successful fashion business.

A huge thank you to the @toryburch team for sharing your time and expertise with us!

68% of Training Institute alumni are parents. Just like Pauline from Cohort 14, whose daughter modeled her creation on the runway.

That means the majority of our community isn't only investing in themselves. They're modeling what perseverance and growth look like for their children. Opening doors to new income opportunities that unlock more possibilities for the whole family.

This Mother's Day, we honor all the moms doing the hard work of becoming, so the next generation can go even further. 💐

She'd been working in a factory for years, but nobody ever taught her how the clothes she was making actually came together.

Our CEO @the.ngozi.okaro shared this story on theMechanism Worker Voice podcast, and it says everything about the why behind this work. When you invest in people, the results speak for themselves.

Florals for spring? When they’re handcrafted by @tulalututus and inspired by a fan favorite fairytale, they actually are pretty groundbreaking.

See the (very sped up) process behind her look that walked the runway in February. Now, she’s bringing this care and dedication to the women of Cohort 16 as one of our Classroom Assistants!

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
