What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because my aura is my style as well. My style is full of aura and bold presence. I dress thoughtfully with attention to detail, expression of color theories and proportion. My style attracts people of all sorts some who aren’t even actively into fashion but feel connected and speak bcz again fashion is also aura almost much as it is looks. Which is why two ppl can wear the exact same outfit and look totally different.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is me being out somewhere I had no exact idea I’d be at, yet I’m prepared bcz I always dress and behave as if I never know where I can end up, or who I’ll meet just stepping outside because I don’t. I’d be in the same space, preferably another country with one or more of my favorite celebrities and they would be telling me ideas they’d love to execute with me or willing to let me have creative control over. I’ll be there ready to execute because I am present and able.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would do 3 things mainly. 1st I would take half to save for my daughters coming of age decisions. 2nd I’d put some into supplies for style classes I will teach for foster children on dressing to impress. Being who we are dressed to be. Id buy clothing for different occasions including but not limited to, interviews/events/lifestyle. Teach them how to put looks together for each. Lastly I’d buy more supplies for the content studio in mt Vernon NY that my mentor and i already started on.
