Music.

I'm Nigerian, Chinese, and Thai.

Model wearing oversized multicolor chunky knit cardigan and matching shorts standing beside potted plants in a sunlit room What is your relation to jewelry?

It feels personal and almost more important than clothes. Jewelry is the punctuation to my attire.

Model touching her chin wearing a white top with red and black stripes, gold chain necklace, ring, and hoop earring on pale background Do you have any style icons?

Nah, just women who are confident.

Shoes!
