Student Brejenn Allen’s Hospital Gowns and Masks Bring Joy to Essential Workers

In honor of Black Heritage Month, we're sharing stories of the inspiring, powerful work of our Black community members. In high school, Brejenn Allen launched her own line of brightly patterned, functional hospital gowns, which she started donating after the pandemic caused the need for personal protective equipment to skyrocket.
