What makes your style stand out?

Magic! To me, magic is the essence of one's being that can be felt long after they've left the room. Some call it presence, I call it magic because, when used properly, it can be used as a beacon of light on someone's darkest night & bring them back from the precipice of despair! My magic makes my style stand out because every piece of clothing in my wardrobe captures the essence of what I tell myself in the mirror every day, "I'm here, I deserve to be here, & I love who I've become."

What’s your dream fashion moment?

Aside from becoming Style Icon of the year, a dream fashion moment for me is to complete trade school & become a professional image consultant. My goal in becoming an image consultant is to become a respected figure in the fashion industry. With this authority, my aim is to teach the masses how to use personal style as a tool for self expression & self development because one's wardrobe can reveal more about a person in 5 minutes than a therapist can in 2 years due to enclothed cognition

What would you do with $20,000?

There's a couple of things I will do with winning the $20,000. I will use it to pay off my tuition to attend trade school for image consulting so I can begin manifesting my dream fashion moment. I will also invest some of it into the nonprofit organization I will create for foster youth & young adults who grew up in the system. My mission is to use fashion to capture the stories of members of this community to empower others to share their experiences with the aim of raising awareness.
