This is what History looks like.
This is what Homage looks like.
This is what Honor looks like.
To be able to create history during our month was a sacred feeling that can never be fully explained. To bring a community and a culture together through an unforgettable experience is more than music, more than art—it’s a revolution.
I chewed my nails off for a week, unsure if the world would truly understand the reference. We studied it down to the Nike Cortez’s. Paying homage to our Whitney, and not allowing a single detail to go unnoticed. I grew up saying I wanted to be a Creative Director, unknowing of the responsibility it held, when I asked God for more, I was delivered with an abundance of responsibility.
To — I am beyond proud of you. To sustain, cry, bleed, yet still rise in an uncompromising styling industry that so often overlooks brilliance… you are extremely DESERVING of this moment. NEVER give up the fight. I will ALWAYS be a shoulder for you in this war. Thank you for bringing me into your moment. God really has covered us from the east coast to the west and even on to that Super Bowl field!
To — when I walked into your office five years ago, I told you I would help carry your legacy forward. Thank you for trusting me and believing in my process on the largest stage. It takes immense strength to loosen your grip on a dynasty, and yet you allow me to share a throne with you. I am forever grateful.
To .mousmous — your hands are God-given. Thank you for always keeping your doors open to me at any minute and any hour. I know I ride your patience in the heat of my perfectionist spells, but you never give up on me. THANK YOU!
To — I truly don’t know where I’d be without you. Thank you for letting me scream, vent, unravel and beat your a** in moments of stress. You are my rock!
an unforgettable tribe throughout this process.. thank you riding at dawn til dawn for your bb girl.. I know I come in like a storm MOST days and no one ever turns me away.. even when I come in spiraling and foaming at the mouth like a raccoon with rabies! GRATEFUL!
