Style is my canvas of resilience, heritage, and joy, a way to honor survival, culture, and the bold beauty of self-expression.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it fuses resilience with heritage. As a cancer survivor and proud mother, every look I create reflects strength, joy, and hope. Drawing from my Puerto Rican and Togolese roots, I mix bold colors, textures, and artful silhouettes that tell a story of culture and identity. My style isn’t just fashion, it’s a celebration of survival, self-expression, and the fearless beauty of living unapologetically.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is stepping onto a global stage wearing a look that celebrates my Afrorrican roots,an unapologetic fusion of heritage, art, and couture. I imagine walking with my 6 years old daughter, Cataleya, showing her that fashion is more than clothes, it’s identity, resilience, and joy. That moment would honor my journey as a survivor and creator, proving that style can inspire generations and leave a legacy of strength and beauty.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I would invest in elevating my fashion studio to expand opportunities for artisans and showcase the fusion of Afrorrican heritage with global style. I would also create space for educational programs that inspire young girls especially survivors and dreamers like me, to see fashion as a tool of empowerment. For me, it’s not only about design, but about building legacy, community, and generational impact through creativity.
