I think [ fashion philosophy] it's about your smile and your smell.

Things are useless without practice.

I just love expressing my joy and my mind through what I wear, or how I cook, or how I dance, or how I write or perform a song - how I move.

When it comes to fashion or any high art, you have to have a combination of delicacy, along with taste.

We as Black people have to tell our own stories. We have to document our history. When we allow someone else to document our history the history becomes twisted and we get written out. We get our noses blown off.

I actually started writing it because I was inspired by my own personal growth.

I have a master plan as an artist. I've always said I'm not going to be punching nobody's clock. I will work as an artist to survive in this world.
