14-year-old 'Altadena Girls' founder starts a 'femininomenon'
A dozen girls line up at a warehouse near East Los Angeles, 16 miles southwest of the Eaton Fire burn scar. The Santa Ana winds kick white ash through the air.
Near the back of the line, 11-year-old Jasmine Navarro sits on a plastic chair beside her mom and aunt. She, like many others here, lost all of her belongings in the fire, including clothes she got for Christmas and her favorite hair oil.
“It's been very sad,” she says, “and I've been very emotional lately. But I'm sure I'll get better.”
Things are, in fact, about to get a lot better – if only for a few hours.
Inside the warehouse, a 14-year-old named Avery Colvert and a team of volunteers have created a shopping mall for girls who’ve lost everything. All of it is free.
