Hello Everyone!

Happy New Year in advance. Each new year, we are always talking about what resolution we're going to do. Whether we stick to it or not, we are always doing something to change, for better or sometimes worse. I don't know about anyone else, but lately I have been doing a lot of reflecting, and for the first time ever I see that I have really been focusing on other things besides myself. I used to have so many dreams for myself, and now I haven't even thought of working on those things again. Well, things are about to change.

Here is my first collection, which is from 2011

I'm still very proud of this collection. I worked tirelessly sewing, dying, draping, and creating different textures with fabrics to create this different and unique activewear collection. Creating this collection was the happiest moment in my life. I showed this collection when I had my first fashion show in Atlanta, during Fashion Week 2012 in NYC, in various other fashion shows throughout the Southeast, and in fashion shows in Dallas. This one collection (10 looks to be exact) has taken me to a lot of places. So, what happened? Why wasn't I creating more collections? Why was I solely showing this one collection? Well, life happened. Things started happening that was out of my control, and now it seems that I have forgotten about myself and my dreams, and instead started focusing on merely existing.

It's nothing for me to do illustrations like the ones shown. It is my passion to create fashion illustrations, and fashion collections like what's shown. I need to get back to this. During this holiday season, I rarely look at or read about Kwanzaa, but I have been reading about it a lot lately. It really focuses on creativity and empowerment in oneself and in the community. This is really speaking to me.

So, what's my "new year resolution?" To get back to the creative person I used to be. To get back to creating something for myself. To get back to promoting myself and getting my name out there. To get back to "finding my niche" in my career. The things I used to do creatively, I'm getting back to that. I'm getting back to doing collections, fashion illustrations, gaining clientele, and being the creative me. I will still continue to talk to you all and show what new things I have done. I will also continue to promote myself on here.

Stay tuned!
