Style is my armor and language—it lets me show the world who I am and carry the power to become who I want to be.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it’s rooted in where I came from yet fearless in where I’m going. Growing up poor and Southern gave me that grungy, alternative vibe, but I’ve layered it with confidence, professionalism, and artistry. I elevate everyday looks and push boundaries—in a way that feels bold yet intentional—so my style isn’t just seen, it’s remembered.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is that instant after a runway show ends—when the models have owned the stage, the clothes have come alive, and the designer steps out to applause. That moment embodies accomplishment, artistry, and the power of style. I imagine myself there one day, because fashion isn’t just passion for me—it’s the career I know I’m meant to build, even if the path is still unfolding.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I’d invest in my brand—creating a capsule collection blending my Southern roots with edgy modern style. I’d also use it for mentoring and training, connecting with pros to turn fashion from a dream into my full-time career.
