✨ INYFW ✨

what an honour to play a part in the makeup artist team and contribute to a space where our stories, artistry and cultural identities deserve to be seen, celebrated and represented!

As a First Nation artist and having been 10+ years in this industry, continuing to uplift Indigenous nations through my work has always been at the heart of what I do. And wherever my artistry takes me, that will always remain.
Our stories belong in these spaces.
Our artistry belongs in these spaces.
And the next generation deserves to see us not only represented, but leading, creating and shaping the narrative.

Thank you for having me @indigenousnyfw and for such a special, full-circle moment.
Thank you to my amazing key @beautybybrita I love you so much and I’m so grateful to have crossed paths!! We stuck together 4eva 🤏🏾
And to the amazing artists + sissys I’ve made in our makeup team

The connection between Cherokee Natives visiting my own mob in Cherbourg mission (Wakka Wakka Nation puurrr) QLD, and my great-grandfather performing cultural ceremony for them generations ago to now be here, continuing to carry our stories forward through my own artistry and on an International level ✨ that’s #ithinksheafreak

To my fellow BIPOC and Native baddies:
You are your ancestors wildest dreams!
Keep taking up space, creating, connecting and making history!

This is only the beginning 🖤🫱🏾‍🫲🏽🪶

I’ve worked in the Fashion and Beauty Industry for over 20 years in NYC. Nothing has been more rewarding than leading our Hair and Makeup teams for @indigenousnyfw these past two years. NOT possible without My Glam sisters Key #makeup and #hair @beautybybrita @deyah_cassadore ❤️ This year @mrsmithhair was our official Hair product sponsor and we got to meet their amazing community of hairstylists who helped us out backstage. @pradosbeauty was our official makeup sponsor and the generosity was unmatched🙌🏽 @amazinghairaustralia provided us with beautiful hair extensions and hot tools from @sharkbeauty ✨ We showcased what true Diversity and Inclusivity on the Runway and Backstage looks like,
Beyond colonial borders and mindset. Indigenous New York Fashion Week Forever 🪶🤎✨

when do you matter?
when mic’d
marching
martyred

belonging through
begging
billions
breaking down doors

these rooms will test you
holding unreconcilable truths

people abandon themselves
people come home to us too

all of this means everything
all of this means nothing

you matter / briefly
you belong / conditionally
we keep each other long
