Growing up working in fashion I never saw myself represented. I know as a community, whether that means Black or LGBTQ+, we have all felt that in these spaces at one point or another. I hope this article shows that if you look or feel like me, you deserve and belong to be in the room. Thank you @businessinsider for this feature and interview about my last 5 years at the company. Thank you always to my family @laquan_smith@jecooper for the opportunity to take this ride together 🖤
2025 I took a chance on me and it paid off like I never imagined 🫶🏾
Thank you to every person I came in contact with these past 12 months. You know who you are and I will never ever forget it 🙏🏾❤️
closed some chapters and opened some new ones. Took the most luxurious trip I could find to Hawaii to congratulate my damn self. Proud of all that I’ve accomplished and even more proud of the future. #staytuned
