A branding executive and pioneer in fashion consulting since the early 2000’s, Bonnie Morrison has utilized her cultural prowess to bring some of the biggest brands in fashion to their peak success. From Men’s Vogue to Coach, Morrison has worked with every major fashion house in the world, using innovation, strategy, and process-driven knowledge to enhance communication and quality of a franchise. In her free time, Bonnie has used her personal wisdom and industry expertise to advocate for various social justice issues, stressing the need for better communication in American society today. Morrison’s Instagram account called ‘fiercegrandma’ discusses everything from Black Lives Matter to improving interconnectedness to finding ways to unleash your fullest potential. As a young black woman in the fashion industry decades ago, it was people like Bonnie Morrison that made me believe in myself.
