Volunteer Spotlight: Layla Bluefort, MSW
From walking through the doors of Dress for Success Charlotte as a client seeking her first interview suit to becoming "Coach Lay," a social worker, educator, and Mental Health First Aid Instructor, Layla's journey has come full circle.
Since 2017, she has supported countless women through styling, professional development, wellness workshops, and reentry programming, always with the belief that empowerment begins when women are reminded of their value and potential.
"One of the things I love most about Dress for Success Charlotte is that it sees the whole woman. No matter the setting, the mission remains the same: helping women see possibilities for themselves that they may not have seen before."
Thank you, Layla, for continuing to help women discover the confidence, purpose, and power within themselves!
