It was Aaniya’s and I’s first time modeling as a duo this past Saturday. At the @firstgenfashionshow, we had the opportunity to walk for @madeby.dais. The show was centered around an apocalyptic theme. Which @madeby.dais over delivered. 

Grateful for the opportunity and everyone who made it magic.

Luv Bug designs by Kiki Dauda 🩷🩷

I am so proud of her creativity. I never told her the theme of the First Gen Fashion Show, yet she somehow captured it perfectly.

She designed both dresses herself. Her twin sister, Bear, wanted a mermaid theme, so she added a beautiful mermaid design to the back of that outfit. For the other dress, every cat and butterfly was hand-drawn and painted by her. She spent time creating each detail, gathering little treasures and knickknacks from around our home, and bringing her vision to life.

Watching her imagination come alive has been one of the greatest joys. The creativity, confidence, and thought she put into every piece reminds me that children often understand how to tell a story through art better than we do. 🦋✨

Thank you @laurenlesueur

Most grateful to have the courage to live this kind of life. All these thoughts in my mind have become memories and life changing experiences for myself and countless others… To be honest it’s all very sentimental but it would not be what it is without me with every intention to “ Do it anyway! “. Every obstacle has brought me closer to meaning. 

#TAGS A glimpse of thee last year.  Started @firstgenfashionshow from model casting to completion.  At this point an unknown number of articles, mentions and news appearances for No Vacancy Gallery and @maximumlenny on Opening night with @not.koala in @ellegalleryportland .  To returning HOME to @avaloncov and visiting my Foster Hometown to sit in the park down the street from my childhood home.  Walking tour with @portlandchinatownmuseum @oregonblackpioneers .  @afuafina Rose City Block Party with @ogbabyblubenz @x.yne_ .  To the most energized closer @marzz4music at their event with @twocoinscharity and @nolan_kurtz standing in front of @blackbloomdesigns arrangement talking with his Mom at their @mingteriors Exhibit in the Gallery. 

… and Me crying after hearing the name of the Gallery on the news for the first time during @hairspiracyofficial .  I live a very FULL life of the planned and unknown.

Special thanks to Lauren for allowing me to be the MC at her wonderful event. Thank you to Carmen, Ms. Black Oregon, for being my co-host on the red carpet.
