5 years ago, I moved into a duplex in Brooklyn that I thought would be my long term home (read about it here). I mean, the space was chic and spacious, something that is typically hard to find in New York, the city of the shoebox apartment. While I reveled in the space, and made myself comfortable with the top floor/basement combo, I quickly learned that having a lower level to your home comes with serious issues. The most pernicious…
A few weeks ago, I came under (light) fire for agreeing with Monique about black women wearing bonnets in the airport. I personally felt that we could do better in terms of representing ourselves outwardly–to command respect! I didn’t take the time to read many comments (though I think someone called me self loathing!), but it’s crazy how you can say one little thing that doesn’t go along with the crowd and get attacked for it!

They will be sold exclusively at menswear store Connaisseur Paris, located at the…

I’m literally sitting here yawning as I prepare to host a fashion show in New York. Y’all pray for me, mmmmk? At any rate, I wanted to drop in quickly to let you know that the richest man in the world is Bernard Arnault, the CEO of LVMH, the home to brands like Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, and Christian Dior.
