OOTN(late post)……… AFRO CHIC

I have loved African printed fabric for as long as I can remember. I am  drawn to the array of vivid colors and patterns. I can recall, as a young girl watching my Auntie Carolynn, My Mom and their friend Cel sitting around making earrings, kufi caps and other clothing out of kente cloth and other African fabric.  I would always find a way to get me a little something made, even though kids my age didn’t consider it stylish, I did and I rocked it!!!!

Last year I became familiar with Kenya Boyd- Crawford, a designer from Los Angeles, California; who has created looks for one of my favorite vloggers, Moontastic.  She and I talked via Facebook and decided to barter services, I would make her several shirts and in return she would make me a skirt. All I provided her with was my measurements and the style of skirt I wanted.  From there, she did the rest but saying I was pleased is an understatement.

I had been waiting on the right time to wear this skirt.  My plan was to wear it during ASU‘s Homecoming but the opportunity didn’t present itself.  However, I final got the chance to wear it while attending my Great Aunts 80th birthday party in Miami last weekend.  I received so many compliments and I must agree, I looked AMAZING!!!  Below you will find details to the entire look and links to all of the items including that of Kenya Boyd- Crawford.  Kenya can also be emailed at KustomMade415@gmail.com.

Life requires style! ✨ This is not a post abou Life requires style!

This is not a post about fashion. This is a friendly reminder that the way you style your life determines how successful you are and the influence you offer the world. How you style your life connects you to your purpose and living your purpose draws you closer to God. Your style can’t be mimicked or  matched; it is a muscle only you can flex. 
🗣POP STYLE SIS!!

This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly th This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly the way I felt when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I remember the day I planned to abort him. I damn near remember every moment that I have shared with him over the last 23 years and every moment I had with God on his behalf. As we prepare for yet another amazing moment, I am grateful. 

Grateful that God loved me enough to bless me with this joyful black boy. Grateful that he was patient as I grew from girl to woman while being his mother. Grateful that he inspired me to push past every roadblock placed in my path. 

@youknowitszaydoe, I am so proud of you and I love you far beyond any words, actions, or material items, black man. I once called you sun because you shined like one but truthfully you out shine the sun, son. i pray that you receive and cherish every good and perfect thing God has for you. I pray you continue to pursue your purpose with passion. Most of all I pray that and abundance of love and light surround you and that despite life challenges you never cower in the face of adversity.
