Competence breeds confidence. If you’ve spent your life studying medicine, and suddenly you're put in a room full of philosophers — expected to give a speech on philosophy — would you be confident giving that presentation? The same goes for identity. If you don’t know who you are, how can you be confident?

I realised I was keeping my old wounds fresh for a trial that would never come — that was stealing my life more than my trauma ever did. 

I create and I style, to not merely dress, but inspire confidence and authenticity. We each have a different voice, an original opinion, and a unique perspective. Fashion is a form of self expression, a language beyond words, and our personal style is built from our own originality. Discovering your true self, and carrying that identity through everything you do, create, and wear will transform your reality. 

Instead of acting out of impulse, anger, and hurt, take a minute, breath and remind yourself: "Sometimes things fall apart, so that better things can fall together" - Marilyn Monroe,"Karma never misses a soul", "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes" - Winston Chruchill

I refuse to become the person someone has attempted to paint me out as. So yes, I stay silent. I won’t broadcast our disagreement to the world, and I won’t let a moment of hurt turn me into someone I am not.
