I'm a mom, a lawyer, a creative spirit. Above all a child of God. Creating clothes that inspire me and others is my driving force!

I've been busy, but had to share a great getaway we had a week or so ago! Take the time, break, vacations, whatever you call it. Take it. Time is precious- don't give it all to projects, jobs or even people if they don't give that same energy back to you!

Norwegian cruise was fun!

The real star of the show! @the_dapper_renaissance your ears should have been burning with the number of times we shared your info about this absolute work of art brim! by @thearticulateone

What a fun Christmas season for me. I love any opportunity to be creative, so in addition to my personal decorations, I got a chance to bring some fun to the office as well. Each door has its own personality! Thanks to my sometimes partner in crime @wizechyld for creating the fabulous Nutcracker! by @thearticulateone

I love being creative. I've been doing it, in one form of another since I was a kid. I decided this energetic little fellow needed something to carry his books. It needed to be clear and have vivid color touches. So I made him a backpack! While I think he liked the school bus I put in it more than the books or the backpack, I thought it was cute!
Now it's time to make my birthday coat!

It's been a really busy 72 hours! First there was Brandy and Monica AND Kelly & Mya, who were amazing! Sick talent- every one of them! Then it was helping Ayanna become the Lorax and then rushing off to decorate our table for the kiddies at work! I made all the pieces to the Lorax costume (except the beard) . Also made the Truffula tree. And then created the table decorations, all before 10:00 this morning! Then i made my tray popcorn for someone! It was a lot and I'm effectively exhausted. But, life is about memories. I hope @Ayanna Campbell enjoyed the process and realizes the laughter we shared while I was creating this, will stick with her 20 years from now! That's why I do the crazy stuff!! 🤪 by @thearticulateone

These are wild times, and when you get a chance to take a breather, even briefly, seize it. It's incredible how one encounter with like-minded people can profoundly affect your life. Take the chance to dig deeper! We had a wonderful weekend and I'm deeply grateful to @lashan1964 for being the idea woman behind this excursion! To @kdturner718 for putting up with all of us! IYKYK!🤣 @cletea5 for being "too much" all the time- we wouldn't have it any other way! And to @shellyharrellherring, I hope you had a laugh and got a little rest! Thank you for being SO GENEROUS, kind and funny. You didn't have to join this crazy crew, but you did, so you are stuck with us now, for life! by @thearticulateone

Congratulations to all the honorees at the University of Memphis' Black Alumni Gala. Great hanging out with my sorors too!

It was a busy weekend! From a wonderful dinner at Capital Grille on Friday to a laid back Saturday @robustobyhavanamix Block Party! Got a chance to spend a little time with my darling daughter @wizechyld doing something we love! We even came in Second place as Best Dressed! It was the hats -@the_dapper_renaissance for sure!.

Life is short, enjoy the little things. You will not regret, drinking the wine, taking the time to stop and smell the roses! Looking forward to the next adventure! by @thearticulateone

I miss my friend @lmarciabenton Marcia Lewis! I would have called her to convince me not to buy this cause I don't need it. By the time we finished talking, we BOTH would have ordered it AND extra accessories!!
