Style became my first love at 10 years old when I received my first “Delia and Alloy “ magazine. I said one day I will be a fashion stylist.
What makes your style stand out?
My confidence. I love the mixture of prints and textures. I’m plus size and bold. My thrifted items stand out when I style them and make great conversation starters.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
To be recognized for my talents in fashion around the world .
What would you do with $20,000?
Start a school for fashion and modeling in Baltimore city. The school will also be a recreation center. Fashion magazines and shows were my outlet as a child. I grew up having a recreation center. The center let us create and build our character. I want to make this space for the youth. Currently, there aren’t any recreation centers in my city.
