[Diversity] is the future. You can't stop it. It's going where it's going, so I choose to be with the future.

I do not believe in a label on a shirt or a dress should tell me that I can't wear a T-shirt or a pant because it should say "women's"or "men's" on it, you know? That's just not how it should work.

Other than the obvious, like Cher and Diana Ross, I actually find a lot of inspiration from time periods. So it's not necessarily people, it's the essence of the time period, whether it be the '90s or the '70s or the '40s. The specific time and what vibe it gave you, what the emotion of that time was, and trying to get that emotion again.

I have a really strong passion for what I do. I don’t see myself doing anything else.

I like to [unplug] and enjoy being a human.

What's the point in fashion if nobody can wear it?

My wearing my hair in locs on an Oscar red carpet was to showcase them in a positive light, to remind people of color that our hair is good enough.
