[My fashion] line is inspired by real people, so I guess you could say it was listening to them, what they need, what they want and then translating that into coming from me.

I feel like clothing is very much emotional, you know?

I use my platform for more than just myself. Art is a reflection of human emotions. To neglect the political is to neglect what essentially is your job of storytelling. I would rather be known for the content of my character than for the project that I did.

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

I want a lot of young people to see me in my working environment. I want them to see me being a good person while also running a business. I want young people to aspire to that.

If I want to do something powerful or special, then I contact people I think are smart, educated, inspiring and I'll say, "What are you doing? How can I help?"

With anything, you have to approach from an educational, mature standpoint.
