INTERFORM is building a self-sustaining design-led fashion and art industry for EVERYONE right here in Northwest Arkansas

About the Show:We recently sat down with fellow podcaster, model, and all-around great person, Rochelle Bailey from INTERFORM.  INTERFORM is an organization at the forefront of a movement toward a “self-sustaining design-led fashion and art industry in Northwest Arkansas.” In addition to this mission, INTERFORM is also responsible for NWA Fashion Week, the twice-yearly premier fashion event in Northwest Arkansas.   Rochelle, or “Ro,” as many call her, is the Communications Manager with INTERFORM. She is a fantastic individual with a terrific story of how she ended up in Northwest Arkansas and why she is so glad she came here. Ro is also the host of the INTERFORM podcast, where she gets to extend its mission of inclusion and talk about a lot of issues, including current events while focusing on connecting the community through art and fashion.  We packed a ton in this episode. Tune in and see why we are committing to having Ro back on the I am Northwest Arkansas podcast as soon as possible. All this and more on this episode of the I am Northwest Arkansas podcast.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Email Rochelle BaileyWebsite for Interform WebsiteInterform on InstagramInterform on FacebookInterform NWA Fashion WeekInterform PodcastWebsite for The MomentaryHigh on the Hog - Netflix - EpisodeThree, Our Founding Fathers This episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its Best!"
