This is not just fashion. It’s a ritual. A story. A reclamation.
In this latest piece, I step into the essence of the modern goddess—fierce, fluid, and grounded in the wisdom of my ancestors. What you see here is not just an outfit. It is wearable art, a living archive woven from nature’s textures, cultural memory, and the spirit of reclamation.
The Crown: Denim Reimagined

Lined with sacred cowrie shells, this crown channels water energy and ancestral memory. Cowries, once used as currency across Africa, carry deep spiritual significance.

Adorned in Earth and Legacy
Braided into my hair are strands of natural wood and hand-carved beads—grounding the entire look in earth and tradition. Every element you see is intentional. Every detail tells a story. The materials are reclaimed, revived, and reimagined, each carrying echoes of their past
Sustainability Meets Spirit
This collection is rooted in sustainability, spirituality, and style. Every piece is handmade using repurposed materials—breathing new life into the forgotten, the discarded, the overlooked. I listen closely to what the materials want to become. I blend elements from the ocean, the soil, the sky, and my lineage to craft adornments that hold soul and power.
This is my creative practice. This is my offering.
It’s not just about aesthetics. It’s about connection—between past and present, between body and spirit, between the everyday and the divine. This is a celebration of Black feminine divinity, and an invitation for you to embody that energy too.
