As I sit on a plane on my way to Guatemala for one of my best friend’s weddings, I wanted to share with you my one and only resolution for 2017: Travel the World. Fashion Bomb Daily is VERY CLOSE to running on its own without little me. Of course I’ll be working like a crazy person in 2017, but I hope the New Year will signal more time to do things I love and enjoy. Travel is one of…

Not only was I offered a position writing for Vogue Black, but I was also assigned to cover Fashion…
Yesterday, I declared that I was going to leave the hurt behind in 2016. This year has been all about growth, evolution, and also recognizing what things and people cause me stress or pain.
