“Style lets me show up as myself—unfiltered, expressive, and layered. It’s how I turn everyday moments into movement.”
What makes your style stand out?
“My style stands out because it’s honest and intentional. I don’t dress to impress—I dress to express. Every piece I wear is chosen with care, reflecting parts of my journey and the moods I move through. I lean into textures, layers, and silhouettes that feel true to me, not just trendy. It’s not about being loud—it’s about showing up as myself, quietly confident and always evolving.”
What’s your dream fashion moment?
“My dream fashion moment is stepping into Milan Fashion Week wearing a custom piece that threads my heritage, my grit, and my truth. I want the look to honor those who’ve endured—my family, my culture—and reflect the resilience that’s often overlooked in fashion spaces. It wouldn’t just be a runway moment—it would be a statement of legacy, clarity, and unapologetic pride. I want to show that style isn’t just about trends—it’s about testimony.”
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d use the $20,000 to buy a beautiful home for my family—a space filled with love, legacy, and stability. I’d also invest in creative projects that amplify my story, including diabetes awareness campaigns, that honor my journey and culture. This isn’t just about fashion—it’s about impact. I want to create visuals and messaging that reflect resilience, clarity, and pride, especially for communities that are often overlooked.
