What makes your style stand out?

My style blends culture, softness, and strength I use fashion as storytelling. Every piece I wear reflects purpose: honoring my Nigerian and Ghanaian roots, my faith, and my journey as a young woman building space in business and art. I balance minimal, bold, and intentional choices that allow me to express who I am while inspiring others to wear their truth.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is walking into an international show as both guest and creator, seeing my designs styled on diverse people who feel empowered wearing them. I imagine merging streetwear and storytelling on a global runway, while my family in the audience witnesses the vision come to life. That moment would embody years of resilience, creativity, and faith in what’s possible.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would invest in scaling my brand Y.I.T.S. (“You’re In There Somewhere”), building sustainable collections that merge fashion and purpose. I’d fund production, expand marketing, and create spaces for young creatives of color to showcase their voices. Beyond business, I’d give back to community programs that uplift youth ensuring the prize multiplies impact far beyond me.
