Fashion has been my passion since I was a child of five years old. My parents were from the 40s and 50s style was important.
What makes your style stand out?
Confidence and resilience. Real Style Style is more than fashion or the clothes we wear. It’s about *persona*—your swag, your character, your charisma, your charm, and your respect. It’s in how you speak—eloquent, mannered, and kind. Style is also in how you care for others, in your moral values, and in your grace. Style know worth and respecting who you are and others.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
To have the opportunity to publish my own fashion magazine that address the diversity of fashion and culture, providing venue that others can showcase their talents.
What would you do with $20,000?
Style is so much more than what you wear… Before I took my journey deeper into fashion, I spent over 20 years as a "Substance Abuse and HIV/AIDS Counselor". Social work taught me strength and determination — because I witnessed so many lives battling health challenges, homelessness, and abuse. To guide another adult toward a better quality of life — that’s real style. I used every gift I had to help others feel good about themselves, I will be a testimony to my resilience. Mentoring others
