I wanted something that was really well-made but also still hitting a price point that's tangible and logical for average people - that's who I want to cater to.

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.

I was very inspired by working women, and also women who aren't working yet! I want them to have shoes that feel luxurious and special and well-crafted and thought about. But also, they should have shoes that won't break the bank. You don't have to spend three years saving up for beautiful shoes.

I’m one of those people who doesn’t follow trends. I set them.

I'm not living in the past, I don't want to go back - I don't want to "Make America Great Again." No, no, no.

One of my dreams is to walk down the runway during Fashion Week!

To me, locs are a symbol of strength and beauty, almost like a lion's mane.
