THIS MONTH’S WRAP-UP:
Throughout my journey, as I learned the many lessons I share in my book EMBRACING THE CALM IN THE CHAOS, I also relied on the wisdom of my friends and colleagues—those with whom I have an authentic connection and those who’ve supported me, discovered me, collaborated with me, built something that inspires me, made me laugh, and ultimately possessed the same level of passion that I do.
In my book, I share some of their expert advice, as I’m a firm believer that gleaning knowledge from like-minded individuals is essential to progress.
Becoming and being an entrepreneur is a wild ride. As I said, it will be chaotic at times, with or without your support network.
My goal for Embracing the Calm in the Chaos is to show you how I found peace within the madness and never stopped persevering so that you can too.

It has been over 3 years since I have had an IRL ( in real-life NYFW show or store event).
BELOW IS THE LAST NYFW EVENT I DID BEFORE COVID IRL.
I remember that show like it was yesterday. It was the first time my son Dylan attended my NYFW show! He sat front row and I was so excited to have him there to witness this show that I was so proud of and worked very hard on with all teams and performers involved. He was 5 back then.
It was the month before our world shut down. This was the run of the show I wrote that everyone received.
“IMAGINE being in a circle next to people from different backgrounds, who have different passions, and different world views. Then, imagine for that one moment you come together as a COMMUNITY, celebrating FREEDOM, and living with INTEGRITY. Do you feel me? If you do, then you have arrived. That MOMENT is RIGHT NOW, RIGHT HERE! We might not see eye to eye all the time, but we can come together and celebrate, and maybe even teach each other something new. I challenge you.
Thank you for celebrating this very special show with me for ROOTS x BOY MEETS GIRL® today. I am grateful for each and every one of you. Now close your eyes, and then open them, and right before your eyes – watch the magic with pianist & activist Chloe Flower, hip-hop dancers, and the models featuring @roots x @boymeetsgirlusa. I do hope you will remember this moment of all of us together celebrating NYFW!“
Then you all know the story of what we all went through in its various forms when Covid-19 hit our world. More of how it impacted me in my book.
This past weekend I decided to take Dylan with me to scope out some spaces within the venue that will be my first foray back IRL at MY VERY OWN BOOK EVENT OMG OMG OMG. We walked from the west side to the east side, through the park, talking and laughing and skipping and hugging. We ran into the venue and took photos and looked at two different spaces. We both had the same opinion on the space we liked better. It was teamwork at its finest.
I have made sure to hold on tight to this time and these memories as we never know what tomorrow will bring. With anything I like to plan an event and production like it is NYFW. So I am so thrilled to invite you to my very first BOOK EVENT IN NYC ON MARCH 11th at a very special retailer hub. Stay tuned for my official invite.
