Featured Interview:

How is your creativity disrupting the culture?

I feel my creativity definitely disrupts the culture by Continuously starting new trends and simply being authentic with Everything I showcase on social media, it has gotten me to where I am and who I am now. I’m always constantly pushing boundaries and knocking over industry norms in a very authentic way.

How are you using your platform for change and building awareness for things you are passionate about?

I constantly use my platform to broadcast the things I truly believe in and stand for such as helping and supporting others and being a humble servant to God. I work very closely with a foster youth foundation/nonprofit organization called “The Dream Catcher Foundation” where I at least twice a year go visit the kids, talk to them, encourage do uplifting activities, and gift them with things that I either buy or get brands to donate to.

This issue of Galore is all about icons, Who are your SHEROES?

My MOTHER! My sisters! All of the women in my family are my SHEROES because they embody womanhood and motherhood in such a beautiful way. They all do it so differently but I can pull from each of them constantly as I go through my life.

What does icon mean to you?

An icon to me is a timeless STAR who never goes out of style and who is praised by the masses.

What has been your most iconic moment in this industry?

To be quite Honest I don’t feel I’ve had my iconic moment yet, but I know I’m working hard to get to that moment, this is the most energized I’ve felt in my career and I’m truly feeling like God’s timing has been the right timing for me. So when that moment comes I’ll be sure to call the Galore team and let them know.

Growing up in a big family what lesson did your older siblings help you fight through?

I feel one of the most valuable lessons my siblings have taught me by far is to not be so hard on myself. I’m 1000% am my biggest critic and they definitely have helped me remind myself of who I am and what great things I’ve achieved so far.

Marilyn Monroe or Pam Anderson?

Totally different yet stand-alone women I can’t choose, they both have disrupted the industry and are both such beautiful women. They along with others have paved the way for women like myself to embrace sexuality and provocateur, yet still be able to be strong boss women.

You are such a chameleon with the hair and glam, what’s your favorite look so far and do blondes have more fun?

I definitely love changing my look up that’s no secret but I feel my favorite look on me by far is a silky black bust down middle part sew-in weave with a glam by @hotlikefire . Never misses! Do blondes have more fun? Ehh I’m not too sure about that I feel us brunette hair girls have it on lock, but I loved getting to explore blonde for this collaboration with boohoo, definitely channeled my inner blondie!

What edits from boohoo Halloween collection are you obsessed with?

I’m absolutely obsessed with the leopard bodysuit that I got to wear during the shoot for Boohoo and Galore. The fabric and fit were absolutely insane, I always think boohoo gets it right when creating really fun fashion that’s affordable for the girlies! The Purge LED mask is most definitely super hot as well , definitely provides that like don’t play with me vibe that I love, scary but super sexy! I also think the silver 3 piece set w/ chaps is fire, shout-out to Beyoncé, she really made 2023 a silver movement, the way she inspired the culture and fashion with silver this year was and will forever be ICONIC.

Y2K is forever a vibe, you are in the new campaign for True Religion how did this come about and what’s your favorite piece from that collection?

My brand manager and I were talking about brands that I really wanted to work with, that I felt were authentic to me and represented culture through fashion, and I just felt like True Religion was the one. I’ve had other denim opportunities and I’ve enjoyed them, but the True Religion team has been so inspiring and so supportive towards me my entire career, this opportunity just made sense and was the perfect timing. Shoutout to the True team for believing in me and blessing me with this opportunity! My favorite piece of the collection was the low-rise cargo true religion pants/cargos. Those fit my body type SO perfectly I was in awe.
