In her words
“Power is in all women. My hope is that when women wear my clothes, they can lean into that power.”
Her clothes always have a story to tell. In one of her previous collection with the help of Afro-Cuban American painter Harmonia Rosales from Chicago – she was able to shift the Eurocentric narrative around the Renaissance art trend.
According to her “Black women have always been erased from those narrative unless they were showed as slaves”
The brand has bagged major endorsement which includes a Vogue feature, Essence magazine, Bloomingdale [special Lion King Collection], Michelle Obama and Beyoncé wearing one of her designs.
