Ain’t No Mo is the blackest show on Broadway. And the best Broadway show I’ve seen in a long time. My journey to see the critically acclaimed play started off very black. It had begun to rain profusely on my trip to Belasco Theatre at 111 West 44th Street. Of course I had freshly coiffed waves, and of course I had forgotten my umbrella. As I instructed my Uber driver to get as close to the theater marquee as possible…
If You Can’t Get Into the Fashion Club, Create Your Own: Wearing a Balmain Blazer, Alexander McQueen Skirt, and Givenchy Sharktooth Boots at Paris Week
I was THIS CLOSE to writing a post about how the fashion industry loves our culture but does not love us. I was naming names and providing receipts! But instead of lead from a place of WTF, I decided to do all things with love, and talk a bit about the beauty of creating your own lane. I’ll tell a little story.

So when I come to Atlanta for Thanksgiving, I typically keep it low key and kick it with my family. Making runs to the grocery store are the high points of any given day. So I was excited when my mentor/shero Kim Blackwell invited me to watch an Atlanta Hawks vs. Pelicans game last night. Isn’t she fly in her Gucci sweater and Brogue Pumps? She stays DRESSED! I didn’t have any expectations aside from watching the game! And because…
New York Style Diary: At Samsung’s Mashable Fashion Dinner in a McQ by Alexander McQueen Tiger Print Dress and Gianvito Rossi Black and White Pumps
Hey! So yesterday, I had a series of great meetings! I’m trying to scale Fashion Bomb Daily and help it achieve its greatest potential! Doing so takes many talks. Because I was in business mode, I went for a conservative look with a Brooks Brothers button down and a McQ by Alexander McQueen tiger print dress.
