What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because it is rooted in the legacy of my Creole and African American heritage. Every look I create carries the bold energy of my ancestors, blending history, art, and resilience into a living statement. I don’t just wear fashion; I embody it as a multidimensional expression of culture, identity, and humanity, carrying forward the best of those who came before me.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is stepping onto the world’s biggest stage; whether a runway, red carpet, or global campaign, wearing a look that fuses ancestral tradition with futuristic design. I envision showcasing Creole and African American artistry in a way that honors my roots, uplifts my community, and inspires the world to see fashion not just as style, but as a cultural legacy made visible.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would invest the $20,000 into my nonprofit venture to build an app and fashion line that promotes human kindness and compassion. My mission is to ensure no person on earth goes improperly clothed, while creating designs that honor my Creole and African American heritage. Fashion becomes more than style;it becomes a movement for dignity, culture, and humanity.
