Happy Mentoring Month! The beginning of each new year not only gives us a chance to set goals for the future, it also offers an opportunity to reflect on the past. We’re delighted to report that 2014 was a banner year here at the Over My Shoulder Foundation. Here are just a few highlights, from awards and events to media sponsorships and emotional mentorship stories.

OMSF co-founder Dawn Carroll was thrilled at the opportunity to present the annual award to someone who mentored her, and so many others, in the art and business of high fashion.“She ignited confidence in me that women could be powerful business leaders, glamorous wives, and nurturing mothers” says Dawn. “Yolanda was a wonderful mentor.”

All Saints: Mentoring Heads to Hollywood
Choose highlights from all the fantastic mentoring stories that appeared on the blog in 2014 was nearly impossible. They were all moving, and we learned from each one of them. Among these mentoring stories, one bright point is this touching story of a young pastor, a group of refugees, and the redemption of a struggling church—and how their tale is being transformed into a hollywood film!
Dawn Carroll Co-Authors a Mentorship Anthem
In March, at the OMSF Boston Design Week event, Dawn Carroll and Boston rock legend Jon Butcher debuted their mentorship anthem, “Half-Filled Tear.” Telling a story of hope and redemption, the song features Shea Rose and the Boston Children’s Choir as well as rapper Gidon the Mighty Warrior.
