My mum ❤️ her lifelong, selfless dedication to her kids inspires me to be the best mother I can be to my own daughter.
What’s your international women’s day message?
It’s easy to feel like you need to do it all and excel at everything all at once. Try and find balance, ask for and take up offered help and most importantly do something just for you, even if it’s five minutes, every single day!

“If you follow your heart, if you listen to your gut, and if you extend your hand to help another, not for any agenda, but for the sake of humanity, you are going to find the truth.”

Share with us a woman that inspires you and why?
I can’t just pick one! My mother and sister are both incredible women. We fuel each other and they encourage me to believe in myself, particularly when I lose sight of my own value. My mum just started modelling in her 50’s and has already booked campaigns which is super inspiring and cool.I also read Cicely Tyson’s memoir and fell in love with her life and soul. Her untraditional trajectory made me feel inspired to continue on my own unique path and not obsess over 1. Achieving everything in my twenties and 2. following the road that society lays out for women.
What’s your international Women’s day message?
There is such magic in womanhood. I am so grateful to exist in it and experience its power. It’s a feeling that can’t really be explained. I guess my message to women is: Don’t forget you are magic.

What do you love most about owning your own business?
The fact that it is forever evolving. I am not one to stay stagnant and my work is a big reflection of that. Running my own business allows me freedom and the ability to be continuously challenged and produce better tomorrow than I did yesterday.

What do you love most about running your own business?
I often pinch myself that I get to run my dream business each and everyday. I hope I can inspire younger women to strive to be their own boss one day. I also recognise and hope that women of colour can see another black woman in a creative field and be inspired. I love having a brand that is an extension of myself, my values, dreams and core beliefs, it’s incredibly special.
