Hello, Stitchers. Welcome to Stitch Please, the official podcast of Black Women's Stitch, the sewing group where Black lives matter. I'm your host, Lisa Woolfolk. I'm a fourth generation sewing enthusiast with more than 20 years of sewing experience. I am looking forward to today's conversation. So sit back, relax, and get ready to get your stitch together.
Hey friends. Hey, it's Lisa from Black Women Stitch in the Stitch, Please podcast. As I say every other week, this is a very special episode because for this episode, we are speaking with none other than Ebony Short from the Baltimore Ravens NFL team. She makes the uniform that puts the team in teamwork. Welcome, Ebony, to the Stitch Please podcast. Thank you so much for

Ebony is someone I have learned about who has had what feels like two different careers in a very short amount of time. She comes to the NFL from theater and costume design. And so I am so excited to hear your stitching story and how you started in fashion
