“Before Paris. Before the fashion shows. There was Harlem. My first runway wasn’t marble — it was Concrete The music, the girls with door-knocker earrings, the scent of hair grease and dreams... this is where it all started.” #theblackgirli for #thegirlswhogetit #popularstranger
OK, so this feels like me, cracking open my diary and letting you read a few pages I’ve been sitting with this idea for a while not rushing it not forcing it
just letting it become what it’s supposed to be it’s scary, but I’m doing it anyway, I promised myself this year. I was gonna be outside! sometimes I’II talk about fashion but not in a trend report way more about how an item of can make you feel, sometimes I’ll talk about beauty, and hair and of course the culture, and the identity of loving yourself. Sometimes I’ll go down memory lane and talk about something that I didn’t realize shaped me until I said it out loud, and if I could be honest, some of the thoughts that I have never really feel safe for me to say publicly, because as a black girl, you don’t always get the space for that, especially a black girl behind the scenes in fashion so if you’re reading this, I’m assuming you get it, you’re probably the type who notices the details and gets excited. who knows that power isn’t always loud. It’s quiet, confident, self trusting and knowing who you are, and loving all of it..
so this is my journal welcome

Every January, we’re invited to reset. New planners, new goals, new promises to ourselves. But instead of a long list of resolutions that quietly fade by February, I’ve learned to choose one word—a word that becomes a feeling, a direction, a filter for decisions big and small.
This year, my word is Outside. Catch me 2026 #TheBlackgirlLI
