What’s your alter ego?

You’re talking to her right now, I know it sounds cliche, but as soon as I get home and I kick off my shoes and take off my coat, I also remove a sort of extra protective layer of myself in order to truly get comfortable. Naturally I am a very trusting and loving person, I always manage to pull the light out of the darkest places and people. Yet after several learning experiences, I had to learn to not only protect my space but protect the purity inside.

Where do u go?

I go into myself, every day there is a new part of me to explore. I never know what my surroundings will bring. So every night before bed, I assess how the past day’s events might have changed me. Detailing every inconsistency and conflict because each day dictates my decisions for tomorrow and each decision is a direct effect from the day before.

What is love?

It’s being fulfilled. It’s not needing anything more.

What does fashion mean to you?

Fashion is tangible manifestation. It’s the heart of so many minds that come together to achieve a goal. It has the power to create culture, it identifies and represents time periods. I think it’s important to remember that fashion is available to each and every one of us and it gives us the choice to be seen, blend in, and everything in between.

What are you dreaming about?

The next year, not wearing a mask, how I’ll feel the next time I sink my feet into beach sand, my mother’s jewelry.
