A few weeks ago, I received an e-mail from a PR company, requesting my attendance at VH1’s Hip Hop Honors. They wanted to commission my services to promote the show on social media and in exchange I would get tickets to attend a live taping. I said sure! After fulfilling my social media duties, I took a car uptown. The woman who coordinated everything handed me two tickets, and informed me that they were general admission, meaning that I’d have…
So I love to read. The movers who moved me into my new apartment remarked that I had a lot of shoes and a lot of books! You can see all my books on the floor of this Toyota video I did when I first moved in (embarrassing!!) They’re no longer on the floor, and will soon inhabit this very cool bookcase from CB2 (isn’t it bomb?!?!). Anyhoo, years ago, when I was Breaking into Fashion, I focused on Fashion…
The Bomb Life 101: My New 5am Rule

While we enlisted a black out on Fashion Bomb Daily, took a day of silence, and hashtagged #BlackLivesMatter, I can say that I personally felt powerless, like: what do…
The other day, I had a few low key meetings in the city. It was pretty hot out, so I decided to slip on one of my Nigerian finds: A high/low top and pant set by Zephans and Co aka Le Victoria: Gold accents, including gold cuffs and gold Giuseppe Zanotti mules, were my main accents. What do you think? Images: Visuals by Pierre…
2016 Essence Fest Style Diary: Beauty Confessions with Colgate and Pictures at the Dark and Lovely Booth in a K Mills Collection Blue Ruffled Fiona Dress
So this year I went to Essence Fest for exactly one day! It was action packed from top to bottom. Stop one was talking Beauty Confessions with Colgate Optic White with Kim Kimble, Essence’s Pamela Edwards Christiani, and Dr. Catrise Austin. Then, I popped by the Dark and Lovely booth and said hi to a slew of Fashion Bomb Readers, along with fellow Dark and Lovely ambassador, Justine Skye.
