I’ve worked with Fortune 500 organizations, companies, and everything in between. I want to improve the social and ecological practices employed in various industries, particularly clothing.

I’ve heard people say. I don’t think that’s true — we just do things differently.

Gen Z favors home- expression, and that extends beyond their individual lives

Every place we may, we want to incorporate our own personality and style.

It’s always been important for me to walk out, and I’ve always had my own fashion. I’ve always felt the need to follow a particular trend.

Gen Z style is enjoyment and colorful, and we’re into personal- expression. We want to wear more vibrant and original garments and be more non-traditional in our attire. We’re more likely to incorporate our favorite anime personalities and interests into how we dress, than tarmac versions are wearing.

We’re also at the vanguard of making trend more attainable

My creation has pushed anyone from high clothing brands to business wear brands to respond to people of all ages, cultures, and different areas of diversity.

We value handmade clothing very much.

Conservation is very important to me, but I’m not only. say that economic impact is a significant or significant aspect of purchasing.

I’ve been getting into tone from the 1930s and 1940s, especially antique clothes. When I speak at events or board meetings, I love incorporating thrifted clothes into my clothes. It’s problematic and informed: Showing where you supply your workwear shows your priorities. I just hosted TEDWomen in Atlanta, and my clothes were generally classic clothes.

There are many fantastic classic stores on Instagram and Etsy. I likewise help local thrift stores, and I adore wearing my mother’s apparel or clothing.

I’m also very interested in sewing and repairing items like shoes and accessories to give them new life.

The most responsible style is what’s currently in your closet. is only able to be worn ten days before it starts to break. I deliberately avoid quick- fashion labels, but if I buy new clothes, they tend to be from smaller, local businesses.

I usually tailor my own outfits when needed, but tailoring services are available everywhere. Having a greener wardrobe doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice self- expression.

I like to incorporate elements of my creative side into my corporate style while keeping traditional elements at bay.

A power suit or blazer combined with some of my favorite outfits is one of my favorites. I don’t usually shy away from color, so I might mix it with some really bright jewelry.

I’m even more comfortable combining business wear with prints and jewelry from the African and Indigenous diaspora and weaving the various characteristics of who I am into what I wear because I also want to challenge the business world as a whole.

I’ve received some negative comments about how I look.

Gen Z is redefining professionalism more inclusively, allowing for the expression of identities and cultural backgrounds. However, there’s still a lot of progress to be made.

The only negative comment I’ve received about my appearance is about my natural Afro. Since I was a child, I’ve been hearing comments about this from adults. When asked about it, I respond that yes, it’s my natural hair, and I wear it this way because it’s beautiful, elegant, and professional.

Most states still haven’t passed, which was first signed into California law in 2019. By expanding statutory protection to hair texture and protective styles like braids, locs, twists, and knots, the CROWN Act aims to protect people from discrimination based on race in workplaces and public schools.

I don’t set a dress code in my businesses

All of my businesses intersect with creative industries, and I want my employees to be able to express themselves. People in my industry typically dress in colorful or eclectic ways, and I don’t have a problem with that.

If older generations want to dress in more traditional business attire, it’s none of my business. People ought to be able to wear whatever they want. At the same time, by recycling fashion from past generations, we’re not that far removed from their aesthetics — we just have different outlooks.

What matters to me is that my employees are professional, they do the work and meet deadlines, and they treat people around them with respect.

If they can do all that but want to come to work with pink hair and piercings, that’s fine by me.
