Raised in Zimbabwe & Tanzania, I see style as culture + courage—always pushing myself to try new looks and express my true self.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it’s rooted in culture and courage. Growing up in Zimbabwe and Tanzania, I was surrounded by color, texture, and patterns that taught me clothing is more than fashion—it’s storytelling. I mix that influence with a fearless approach to self-expression, always willing to try something new or step outside my comfort zone. My looks are bold, personal, and unapologetic, blending heritage with experimentation in a way that feels authentically me.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be seeing my style in a major magazine spread or walking a runway in a statement piece that’s completely unique to me. I want to create looks that spark conversation — pieces that blend bold self-expression with cultural influence. Whether it’s a show-stopping outfit or a feature that highlights my journey, my goal is to leave a mark that feels authentic, fearless, and unforgettable.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I’d start by giving back. I’d support my family, especially my parents, who’ve always supported me. I’d also donate clothes and essentials to those in need, because style should empower, not exclude. For me, fashion isn’t just about looking good — it’s about making a difference and using resources to uplift others while staying true to my passion for self-expression.
