ABHMS’ Min. Dr. Chantá Barrett emcees at 2024 Christian Fashion Week
VALLEY FORGE, PA (06/28/2024)—“Christian fashions aren’t just about alternative fashion styles; it’s about letting Christians see that they can be both modest and fly,” said Min. Dr. Chantá Barrett, ABHMS’ digital content creator, who emceed at the 2024 Christian Fashion Week (ChristianFW) Local Edition in Martinsburg, West Virginia. The 2024 edition of ChristianFW was a “resurrection” of the event following a multi-year hiatus. In 2019, event organizers thought that year’s edition would be the last. However, faith-based fashion has gained traction in recent years, which opened the doors for ChristianFW’s return.
