Fashion gives me the creative freedom to express myself as a work of art, & to me “art” is a tool of liberation & societal transformation.
What makes your style stand out?
I’m always changing. Currently I’m creating my own original sculptural armor dresses to wear to feel empowered. Today, I wore a pink huge shoulder pad jacket with an orange hoodie cause it’s raining and I wanted to feel like Rose colored glasses. I wear what empowers my mood and inspires me through life.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
To walk down a runway playing an electronic beat pad that’s sewn into my dress. I’ve been dreaming up and designing this concept for years. I’m a musician and producer also!
What would you do with $20,000?
I would invest in purchasing my own land and studio space to live and work in. Last year I was laid off of my professor duties, so it’s forced me back into full time expression which has inspired me to focus on being a professional artist again. So investing in land to keep building that business is something that would be a key base for me and my son (I’m a single mom).
