Allison Chisolm's Story

Please support my participation in the Charlotte Junior League’s annual Little Black Dress Initiative (LBDI). I can finally wear a black dress to work, y’all! (LBDI) is a week-long awareness and fundraising campaign that harnesses the power of social media to illustrate the restrictions poverty places on choices, opportunities, and access to resources. Participants wear one black dress (or outfit) for five consecutive days, in an effort to spark conversations and awareness about poverty and related issues. Participants are also encouraged to harness the power of social media, email and face-to-face interactions with family, friends and coworkers to drive online donations. LBDI was started by Junior League of London members who, during London Fashion week, wore the same black dress to work, parties, dinners and events to raise funds and increase awareness of poverty in the city. The campaign was such a success, the group encouraged Junior League chapters across the world to host their own LBDIs throughout the year. All funds raised directly support the work and mission of the Junior League: promoting voluntarism, developing community leaders and improving the community.
