Omowunmi Oni-Dandridge
OND S.E.W. Youth Project
Omowunmi Oni-Dandridge is a Baltimore native who teaches youth and young adults valuable life skills through a mobile sewing program called OND S.E.W. Youth Project, which takes the lost art of sewing and uses it as a vehicle for positive change in the community one stitch at a time. Omowunmi started this mobile workshop in 2018 as a way for her to create a positive social impact in underserved communities throughout Baltimore City. OND S.E.W. Youth Project has since served over 300 youth and young adults, teaching them the skills of sewing, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Most importantly, the workshop has reached youth in a way that allows them to blossom in order to rise above negative situations in their surroundings, as well as has supported youth in creative expression. Omowunmi teaches participants how to take what they have and create things of their wildest dreams through learning the basics of hand sewing and sewing machines. The program runs often and services multiple locations throughout the city, which highlights Omowunmi’s goal to reach as many youth and young adults as possible.
