Zoreen Kabani was always passionate about style. "I love clothing, love fashion, love being coordinated," she says. She just didn't think she could make a career out of it. Kabani, 37, and now based in Las Vegas, spent the first decade or so of her career working in finance. In her native Pakistan, "it's still a point of expectation to be in some form of a traditional career path," she says. She was a financial analyst at Goldman Sachs then a banker and financial advisor at JPMorgan Chase.

At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
