Episode 2: Rebellion --> Renaissance
Believe it or not, there is such a thing as good trouble -- and we have three rebels to prove it.
Our fabulous host, Hillary, will be speaking with world-renowned visual artist Benjamin Von Wong, the groundbreaking founder of SHOW DIVISION Celia Sears, and multi-hyphenate artist/fashion designer, Refaya Turshin, about what it takes to challenge the system head-on, and what happens if we don't.
Good thing we're a com.unity of rebels!
2pm live @MODECANADAROCKS on YouTube!
Bring your good energy and your better questions, we can't wait to be with you.

Last night I accepted a special We Award celebrating Women of Excellence presented by the Financial Times, Sky Italia and Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore on behalf of the Afro Fashion Association of which we have been part of since 2016 . Michelle Ngomno the President of Afro Fashion bestowed upon me this honor for which I am truly grateful.

Found a roll of film of myself as a model at age 19, and the struggles I went through are the same that models of color go through today. But change is coming…#inclusivebackstage
