Style is the voice of the soul. whether rebelling against norms or embracing calm, it’s how we express who we are without words.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it isn’t about clothes, it’s about honesty. Every piece I put on is a reflection of how I feel in that moment. Some days it’s rebellion, some days it’s calm, but it’s always me. I don’t dress to fit in, I dress to leave an imprint. My style tells the truth even when I don’t say a word.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be doing a major commercial with Nike or another mainstream brand. For me, it’s bigger than just being seen—it’s about creating a moment that outlives me. Something my family, my friends, even a stranger on the other side of the world could look at and feel inspired by. I’ve always wanted that one defining moment where I can look back and say, ‘I gave everything I had, and it mattered.’ A moment I can carry with pride for the rest of my life.
What would you do with $20,000?
I’d use the $20,000 to fund my passion project, Overqualified Culture. It’s my dream to bring it to life, not just for me, but for everyone who’s ever poured into me, influenced me, or pushed me forward. This project is my way of giving back—it tells the stories of athletes who gave everything to the game but had to find themselves beyond it. Finishing it would mean honoring my journey and the people who shaped it.
