Style is more than an outward look; it is validation of my identity, my values, and the way I choose to engage in the world.
What makes your style stand out?
Sheer elegance is my style with a blend of chic and classy, mixed with a bit of sexy and playfulness. It speaks to my individuality and reveals the undeniable "me". My journey of self-expression allows me to create a visual narrative that is not only authentic, but inspirational, encouraging others to pursue their own unique form of expression.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is to win the Style Icon 2025 Contest, travel to Milan for the Versace Fashion Show, and to appear in Flaunt Magazine. I will feel empowered and truly in my element, making a statement that resonates beyond the style I wear.
What would you do with $20,000?
My passion goes beyond the realm of fashion to include screenwriting for films. If I were to win $20,000, the funds would be instrumental in the pre-production of my award-winning screenplay, Black Butterfly, and would have a far-reaching impact, generating hundreds of jobs for actors and other staff members. Through this endeavor, I hope to contribute meaningfully to the film industry, supporting artists and professionals as we work together to realize a shared creative goal.
