Authenticity/self-expression are very important to me. It is my goal and dream to show the world that it is okay to be your truest self.
We would like to thank you for supporting Za'Riyah in this years competition. Your participation allows us to empower the Elton John AIDS Foundation in their mission to end AIDS for everyone, everywhere.
What makes your style stand out?
My style is uniquely my own. I don’t put myself in a box, and I go off of whatever inspires me. My only goal is to be authentically myself.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is to have my work be seen by the world, and to inspire as many people as possible to be themselves.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would use the money to kickstart my dream of becoming a fashion designer, and do what I can to help others in need as well.
