"I gathered my influences from not only my current surroundings but past and present issues that we face in society.

I wanted to strip back all layers of myself with this collection, as many times I have felt all of these emotions but gathered my strength and determination from strong, fearless, independent women that have surrounded my life growing up. As I researched generations of my family I was able to depict story's and family ties going back century's to the motherland Africa. Tribes play an important role in the history of Africa and convey a strong message of power, beauty and courage. I wanted this collection to stand for the same message tribes such as the Musri have displayed for century's.
