I had to succeed. Failure means I would have to be homeless again.

New York accepts everybody. It doesn't matter your sex, color, religion. Everybody works together to create a better life.

Don't bring me problems. Bring me solutions.

I got involved in fashion by accident. When I got to New York, my intention was to have enough money to eat and to stay and I don't have to leave. I just loved New York - the energy, the culture, the freedom.

I dont walk around feeling like Im successful. I feel like I did well.

Follow the truth to life and love what you do... Be passionate about it to the point where you’re willing to do anything for it.

Financially Im comfortable. But life has a lot more in store for me.
