Officially signing out of Inscape @in_dbn_ as a Fashion Designer ✨️❤️

These past three years of studying fashion design as been a Rollercoaster ride. From sleepless nights to 7 assignments due in one week to semi-completed garments with missing pattern information. As tough as a lot of moments were where I wanted to throw in the towel about 100 times, I will never regret this hard journey this degree had to offer me. All the times I was fighting with my domestic to just sew a simple stitch to being blessed with an industrial machine from my mother.

I am beyond proud and so happy for how far I have come. I will forever be grateful to those who have continuously cheered me on and given me continuous love and support. Thank you to my friends and family for being by my side, thank you to my classmates for a great 3 years, and for all the motivation and support. Thank you to all my lecturers I have had over the years who could've been part of this amazing journey. Thank you for cheering me on in the background and always motivating me when I found it hard to do so.

Thank you so much to my friends and family for being there. Thank you to my mom for making this degree happen. Without you, I wouldn't have gotten this far. Thank you to my love and Fiancé Pierre for taking time off to support me. It was my absolute dream to have you there. Thank you to the best mother-in-law for being there too. Thank you for your continuous love and support. And to my brother Vincent. I know you couldn't make it there last night, but I know you would've really wanted to be there, I love you so much my brother and I'm so proud of how far you've come in life too. I miss you so much!

To my daddy in heaven, yesterday was such a great day, I know you were looking down on me, but some moments were really hard knowing that you weren't there. I could just see you cheering me on in the crowd, taking pictures and videos and saying "that's my baby girl" I miss you so much dad. Thank you for everything you have taught me in the time you lived. I am so grateful that I could do this degree for you with you in mind the whole way. I couldn't have done it without you. I love you dad.

“Life is hard — so what?” 🤷🏾‍♀️ #NewBlogpost #LinkInBio

This piece is a raw reflection on questioning everything you once believed, making peace with not knowing, and learning to treat life as your own research study 📚

It’s about unlearning, healing, and still showing up — even when the answers don’t come easily…
