Thank you @instylemagazine for inviting @itsamandalim and I to attend your beautiful (& delicious) reInvention dinner honoring the incomparable @quintab & celebrating the charming and delightful @sallyholmes
Style is an evolutionary process for me that started with playing dress up and designing dresses when I was very young. I lost that joy along the road to adulthood until connecting with Amanda. She is making fashion fun again. And more than fun, empowering. Meeting and dining with several brilliant fashionable women (and @sunnyg_sd ) was such a lovely evening and I am grateful. Thank you.
Highlights of the evening included:
0. Wearing FW23 @acnestudios I mean HELLO?! THANK YOU @acnestudios !!!
1. Celebrating @itsamandalim
2. Meeting my son @sunnyg_sd and introducing him to his other mom, @itsamandalim
3. Making @sallyholmes laugh
4. Meeting @hellotefi

“Black women need to talk about getting paid our worth. I’m interested if someone comes to me with an offer that feels respectful and fair of the work I’ve done so far in my career. And then next to that is, “Does it move me? Is it inspiring? Is it fun? Are the people that I’m working with people that I’m excited to work with?’”
