Growing up, I hated the fact that I had unruly, curly hair which wasn't cute because no one else around me had curly hair. I used to hate the fact that my skin was darker than the girls and boys I went to school with and I felt lame because that made me different from everyone else. I used to hate the fact that I was interested in so many different things and when they asked me "what do you want to be when you grow up?", I felt like I was being judged because I felt like the possibilities were endless and I was weird because I didn't quite have it figured out. I used to hate the fact that other people could find one concrete sense of style where for me, one day I wanted to be sporty,
the next day girly,
chic,
urban,
and so on and so forth,
and I didn't feel normal because I was "supposed" to find a style and stick to it because I was "fake" for liking so many things. For as long as I can remember, I've been my own worst critic because I let the opinions of other people shape the way I viewed myself to the verge of hating my own self. It was easier to act happy with the way things were because I knew the way I was feeling wasn't the right way to feel, but I just could not help but feel that way. I have been on this recent journey of finding what truly makes me happy in my life, which has been the hardest walk to endure because I was so hard on myself growing up for liking all of the things that I have recently learned to embrace. Changing up my everyday look or wanting to be so many things does not change my character and who I am as a person, and that is my biggest takeaway from this period of self-development.
My goal as a wardrobe stylist is to connect with character before the aesthetic. I understand what it feels like to be misunderstood and not be able to fully love yourself because of it. I genuinely want to make people feel good about themselves, and, we look our best when we feel our best. To positively influence the people I am able to work with through my own experience and interest is the reason I do what I do. I will only continue learning and growing as a person and a stylist in my profession and beyond, and I am extremely grateful for the insight I have gained to get me there.
I am always grateful for the love and support along the way, and I am giving anyone who wants to: an opportunity to be part of it. I am super excited for the projects coming up, and, though I cannot wait until they are finished, this is all about the journey I am about to embark on.

As always, thanks for reading. xoxo
