Our Story
Firme DFW
Firme DFW started as an idea for a clothing brand made by and for the Chicano community in Dallas, Texas. We wanted to create a brand that made first generation Latinx students feel seen; a brand that could validate their experiences. With that, came the idea that we should also give back to the community in a meaningful way. Data shows us that Latinx students are graduating at a lower rate than their white peers, and for first generation latin@s, the gap is wider. We wanted to do something to help close the gap. As a result, Firme DFW was created! Join the movement as we strive for equity in education!
