00:00to be very sincere like I like to keep it simple you know I like a pair of shorts or loose feet
00:11trousers and maybe like a tank top or a t-shirt with slip-ons I pretty much would like that but
00:19I find that these days I can't really get on and dress like that because someone might just want
00:24a picture or selfie and I look like you know I would typically go for the typical gym wear ish look
00:35I like to look athletic every now and then but with colors as long as it's colorful you know so
00:40I throw on a jacket a leisure jacket or loungewear and a pair of sneakers and I'm good to go
00:47I think the most unique thing about being about black women in fashion is is actually the the
00:59beautiful things that come with being black that is the from the hair texture to the skin color the
01:04melanin popping the curves and everything that we are about that itself is the distinguishing factor
01:13for any black woman and the minute you're able to embrace and celebrate that like every other
01:19thing just you know comes into place so I would say um the way we wear our hair the way our facial
01:25features are structured um the way we stront into a place you know we walk in like it's a runway
01:32sometimes and um I especially being African especially like wearing um Ankara or any tribal piece of
01:41clothing or accessory every now and then
01:44it's it's super important because I'm just what I'm just very blessed to to how I put it to have
01:56embraced who I really am at an early age so to be sincere my fashion and my music I don't have to
02:02differentiate or decipher it is what it is it's what I like first of all before any other thing
02:08I'm trying my best to keep it as original as possible I like to dress Western I like to dress
02:12African so why not just merge both of them together and that's what I do with my music
02:16and with my fashion and here I am
02:18well first of all I think I'm going to write some kind of letter to the scientific board worldwide
02:29tell them that they should probably get a new symbol because I'm like oxygen I'm everywhere you know
02:34so like maybe they'll get an element a why elements you know for those who are everywhere
02:38like me jokes but um performing at the essence street style definitely is a dream come true and
