From mission to market: a future for Salvadorian youth through entrepreneurship, education, and employment

When Ariela Suster launched the Sequence Collection in 2011, she aspired to create something more than a designer jewelry and fashion brand—she wanted to create a vehicle for social change. Suster has built Sequence out of her personal mission to break the cycle of violence for at-risk youth through education and employment opportunities.

Suster will share her journey—from her time in El Salvador to editor of some of the world’s top fashion publications to creating a business that is encouraging social change through a for-profit business model—and how international education has played a part.
