Authenticity is my best fashion-conscious choice to date! I love the ability we all have to live out loud through our style. I am fashion!
What makes your style stand out?
My style is just that ; it's mine! Innovative, comfortable, sleek, classy, regal , and sporty at times. My fashion trends have been mimicked since I was 16 in 1999, living in Washington, DC. There definitely was a talk show recreating my outfits almost every week for their live TV show! I've never cared ; my gifts aren't mine to hoard. My style is also versatile. I love layers and transitions. One fit gives at most three styles, and that's what styling is about.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment will be when Jesus returns! I love Jesus and the way He and my Father are described in the Bible; no moment will compare to His return. The glow and His light, His crown, and His robes. I will be making Him a crown!
What would you do with $20,000?
I'm featuring as a jewelry and fashion designer during Paris Fashion Week 2026. I would use the funds to cover my branding, some additional fabric, and travel costs . On the logistics side, I would use part of the funds to hire a web developer to make my website interactive, including an incubation hub for current artists and models to co-create with other designers at will. Personally, I am in need of a business computer or laptop. Currently, every library is my office!
