Style is something that everyone can relate to, whether they realize it or not. It is the inner reflection of someone's soul being shown.

What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because of how eye-catching it is. Everywhere I go, ever since I was a little girl, I have been stopped by people while out and about and complimented on my attire and how I fit pieces together. I made a name for myself in numerous locations. This is to such an extreme, actually, that there have been numerous instances where people have known of me without even actually knowing my name.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

I take the self expression of other people very seriously, and this extends the most to fashion. Why would you want to hide who you truly are inside to fit inside of a box? My dream fashion moment would be to see someone blossom from the caterpillar of conformity into the butterfly of expression they wish to be. Emotions of that caliber are something I cherish deeply.

What would you do with $20,000?

My best friend that I met in college provided me with insight on how the fashion world is for someone that is of color and plus sized. I am always on the hunt whenever her and I go out shopping together to find at least one article of clothing that she is not only able to fit in, but that actually reflects her inner soul and not simply what is available. I desire to further help expand the fashion experiences for plus sized individuals (especially her) if I am able, as well as treating myself.
