This week AfriPop! Magazine will be featuring each of my looks for five days on their new “AfriPop! Today, I’m Wearing” series, where they will be showcasing the fierce styles of African fashionistas worldwide! I am so thrilled and honored to be chosen to start off this fabulous feature! You can check out Day 1 HERE on AfriPop! Be sure to tune in each day this week for new looks! There will be a vast array of outfits as my style is both eclectic & unpredictable. It was so much fun shooting this feature in Brooklyn with my friend and photographer Phillis Kwentoh. She is the best : ). I will be putting up lots of images here each day from each of my 5 looks on AfriPop! Stay tuned! Special thanks to Paula Rogo of AfriPop! Mag : )
I call this story: “Life is a Tight Rope”
I was inspired by the amazing documentary: Man on Wire, a magnificent story of Frenchman Philipe Petit and how he illegally tight roped between in World Trade Center towers in 1974. It is a beautiful story of determination, vision & the immense power of a dream.
You can watch it on Netflix. When I first saw it, I watched it 3 times, it was so inspiring.
Life is a Tight Rope.
