What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because I dress like an original character. I love vibrant colours, unique patterns, and one-of-a-kind pieces. I often turn heads wherever I go, not just for the boldness of my outfits, but because many of my favorite pieces are handmade by me. I do not dress to follow trends, I create my own by blending creativity, confidence, and craft. My fashion is a form of self-expression, and every look tells a story that is uniquely mine.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

As a designer, one of my dream fashion moments is to create and style pieces for someone to wear in a photoshoot or at an event. I want my designs to tell a story and leave a lasting impression. As a model, I dream of being styled for a magazine shoot, walking the runway, or starring in a commercial. I love everything about fashion, I highly enjoy the creative process to the final look. It’s where I feel most alive, inspired, and fully myself.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I could continue supporting myself and give back to my family, who’ve always stood by my creative journey. As the daughter of Congolese immigrants, I’ve witnessed their sacrifices firsthand. Even when I earn a little, it never feels like enough. My dream is to help them work less, cover bills and health costs, and one day travel back to Congo to reconnect with the family we’ve missed all our lives. I pray I keep moving forward for them.
