01
On her personal style
“My personal style is emotional, it’s based on how I feel. I’m a very visual person and sometimes I associate random things together, whether it be a thought, or a feeling, or it could be an object, but then I dress according to my interpretation of whatever birthed the inspiration.”
02
On curating her own look:
“I love putting the old with the new, and it’s never one thing. I love a theme and capturing the essence of an era.”
03
On when she knew Black was beautiful:
“Growing up my mother would always tell us we were beautiful black girls that were growing into beautiful black women so there has never been a time in my life where I doubted or questioned that.”
04
On growing up surrounded by fabulous Black women:
“I grew up in Harlem and I have sisters, so my dad was always outnumbered in our house. The female energy was palpable and just the norm.”
05
On her style preference:
“I love so many different things; I can’t really choose specifically. My style is moody. Depends on the day.”
06
On her favorite places to shop:
“I love Halpern or Boudica. I love this store called, The Way We Wore, but I can find something pretty much anywhere.”
07
On her shoe fetish:
“I’m a shoe girl–I may actually have a problem. I usually choose shoes over everything else.”
08
On her favorite type of shoe:
“I get dressed from the bottom up ninty-percent of the time. Heels, sneakers, flip flops, slides, mules, high tops, low tops. I don’t care, I want them all!”
09
On who is her style inspiration:
“My mother was always someone I admired for not just her style, but the way she carried it. Red lips, red nails, and lots of hair. So ladylike; I wanted to be just like that. I’m not really, but she’s the one who taught me how to be.”
