My style is everything can be art. I bring life to pieces people wouldn’t normally think about styling. Authentically you no matter what.
What makes your style stand out?
Being raised by my boomers grandparents helped me learn the true nature of being authentically yourself. My style choice is complexity. The complexity of my life and what I’ve been through show cases through my clothes, my shoes, my hair, my skin, my accessories, so complexed it makes me, me.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be to work with Teyana Taylor. Her fierceness from just a young age and sticking authentically true to herself. I strive to uphold that fierceness and integrity as I pave my way of life and styling.
What would you do with $20,000?
Half will automatically be going to my grandparents. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be able to say I would be the person I am. I will open an account for my little sister Jazmine, which it’s been a tough year. We’ve recently lost our dad to gun violence and I don’t want my sister to become a stigma to this country. I want better for us. So with whatever is left, I will continue my journey of bringing my talent and light into the clothing that’s attached to me.
