Happy 40th birthday to my beautiful friend, sister and forever client ❤️
@nikedara_d
You are truly one of the sweetest souls I know, kind, intentional, graceful and endlessly creative. You carry so much love in everything you do, showing up as an incredible sister, a loyal friend, a loving wife to an amazing man
@thefemidada 😊, a devoted mum to the cutest bambinos and a wonderful daughter. Through it all, your love for the Most High shines so brightly.
It has been such a joy watching you step into this chapter, your boldness, your womanhood 4.0, your creativity flowing like milk and honey and your effortless fashionista energy.
I still smile thinking about when you first approached me for a shoot and said you wanted to celebrate African fashion and designers. The flood of DMs that followed, with styles, pieces and designers from across different African countries, truly needs to be studied. I am still out here looking for sponsors so we can buy them all.
What we created together will always be special to me. We shaped a vision and brought a touch of the 80s into the mix, inspired by Dynasty and Dallas, full of vibrant colour and character. From your beautiful illustrations to gathering the right people and the magic behind the scenes, Jumoke, Connie, Mimi and even the studio, which we found at just the right time, it all came together so seamlessly. It was more than a shoot, it was a moment. And to your amazing sister
@ykm11 @cocoaluxeedit miles away yet ever present on calls and the WhatsApp group, thank you for pouring in your expertise and love. To our BTS sisters
