My first fashion show 🥹✨

Thank you @naomijaylifestyle for allowing me to be a part of your vision and the beautiful community you’ve created with @saintandsociety. It’s such a positive and empowering space, and the jewelry is absolutely gorgeous. 🤎

I met so many amazing people through this experience, and I’m forever grateful. Charlotte has been opening doors for me that I never knew were possible, and I’m just enjoying every moment of it. 🙏🏼🤍

Had the pleasure of being in attendance for Saint & Society’s Fall Preview. Some of your favorite Charlotte girlies were there and I found so many pieces to add to my collection.

If you get the chance, stop by this Blak-Latina woman owned studio right outside the NoDa area. Bonus points that they’re waterproof and tarnish-free ✨

Thanks for letting me be your +1 @matthewinmotion_

Meet the Artist | Marissa Jade
@marissajade5

Independent artist. Creative. Wife. Mother. And a maker who loves exploring a multitude of mediums.

For I Can Hold Your Heavy, Marissa chose to paint—and she’s embracing the beautiful uncertainty that comes with it.

“The beautiful thing about painting is you have to commit to it. Once you put that paint on, you have to figure it out—and that’s life.”

Marissa was drawn to I Can Hold Your Heavy because of its honesty. Art, to her, is about expression—and about being willing to acknowledge what we carry.

“We all hide something in our heavy.”

For her piece, Marissa chose a snake bag, a powerful symbol of fear and transformation. The snake represents fear itself—and the weight that fear can carry.

Her work explores the life cycle of shedding fear, stepping into power, and allowing others in to help hold what feels too heavy to carry alone.

Because sometimes, the very thing we’re afraid to release is what’s keeping us from becoming who we’re meant to be.

And when we let others in, we can begin to shed what no longer serves us…

and come out on the other side with a new life energy.

Come hear Marissa share the story behind her work and experience the full collection of stories, metaphors, and emotions from more than 20 artists.

It’s about that time to start investing in those Fall Transition pieces! Think lightweight knits that you can throw over your favorite dresses now but then layer over a long sleeve into the colder months! These pieces are great investments because they are super versatile and can be styled tons of ways!
