The Diversity Advocacy Alliance (DAA) of the High Point Market Authority is now accepting applications for its newly-renamed Insider Access Experience at Fall Market, taking place during the fall trade show dates from Oct. 26 to Oct. 30.
Five participants will have the opportunity to shadow one industry professional at Fall Market. This will allow them to learn market tips, tricks, and business best practices. The experts leading the sessions include celebrity designers Corey Damen Jenkins, Erika Hollinshead Ward, and Mikel Welch. Each participant will accompany their chosen industry expert for a scheduled two-hour session between Friday, Oct. 25 and Wednesday of Market.
Sure, here’s a clearer version of the text you provided:”Eligible participants must be either a business owner registered for a Fall 2024 High Point Market buyer pass or a collegiate-level design student registered for a Fall 2024 High Point Market student pass. The application is available online at www.highpointmarket.org/DiversityAdvocacyAlliance until September 20 at 5pm ET.”
“Promoting diversity at High Point Market requires a 360-degree perspective, ” says Tammy Covington Nagem, HPMA president and CEO. “The DAA’s Insider Access Experience supports the next generation of designers with a chance to learn directly from role models and seasoned professionals, to envision how they may grow within the design and furnishings industry.”
The DAA is an HPMA initiative with a mission to expand representation and equitable opportunities for the BIPOC community within the home furnishings industry and its leadership. Additional information about DAA may be found at www.highpointmarket.org/DiversityAdvocacyAlliance.

Michiel is a Black Southern Belle living a lowcountry life. I love all things fashion, home decor and southern! When I am not running around doing fun stuff for Black Southern Belle, I live in antique stores and have a minor obsession with historic homes :)
