MILWAUKEE — As a little bit lady, Lynne sat at her grandmother’s knee and realized the way to sew. After a life devoted to trend, Lynne Dixion Speller based Edessa Faculty of Trend in honor of her paternal grandmother, Edessa Meek Dixon.
“It’s the primary NEW four-year faculty to ever be authorized for packages within the state of Wisconsin by the Instructional Approval Program, a division of the Division of Security and Skilled Providers. It’s the primary designated trend faculty within the Midwest, and the primary four-year faculty within the state with minority management,” stated Lynne.
“It solely took 100 years. Edessa went to Tuskegee College and graduated in 1920, and in 2020 the varsity was authorized,” stated Lynne. “She went on to say that she taught me the way to sew and handed me a profession.”
