SEGMENT TWO: INTELLECTUALIZE BLACK PEOPLE -

The smart sleek collection that is tailored yet a bit reminiscent of the Idlewild aesthetic. We are not asking for handouts, pay us what we deserve, and get out our way!

This segment is inspired by my Aunt Sandra.

I call her my business woman, the CFO, the fiscal icon not because she ever worked a corporate job or owned a business, but she had this indescribable ability to make the math, math. Everything always added up, even when the resources didn't.

My aunt Sandra K Jones - the epitome of elegance! Stoic, stunning, proud dark skin Black woman. I used to sit in the corner of the hallway and watch her get ready. Putting on her makeup, doing her hair, and styling her hat. It was a whole production: vibing to the music. Through all of my admiration, what I didn't know in that moment was the internal revolution and unlearning it took for her generation to go from "with your Black ass" where Black is an insult, a degration of your intellect, your worth and capacity - to "Say it Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud!" I am calling her segment 'Intellectualize Black People.

This briefcase is probably one of the dopest things I've ever made in my life! I thrifted it for less than $2 and designed the graphics... it's insane seeing something go from imagination to real life to working the runway!

SEGEMENT ONE: PROTECT BLACK PEOPLE

My mother, a middle school dropout, was written off by the world as uneducated, uncouth, unimpressive, fat, disabled and worst of all a single black mother. One of my earliest memories is my mom telling me her childhood prayer. She said you're the first person who ever loved me. I prayed endlessly, "God, please give me someone who loves me, who sees me," and He gave me you. I held that in my heart as my personal mission in life. I'm proud to say she didn't die feeling invisible. She used to say, The seed must die for the plant to grow, I'm determined for her one seed to become a forest of wildflowers!!

I read a story about a young man telling his mentor that he used to constantly wear the shiesty mask because it made him feel seen yet invisible at the same time. So many misguided people are in need of someone who sees them, values them and calls them to their potential. đź’”

I wanted her collection to feel ghetto, ghaughy, a little punk, big, fat, ... childlike in the sense of begging to be seen, valued, and heard, yet fierce in its messaging.

Jilly Bean I love you so much!! What a powerful moment!

SEGEMENT ONE: PROTECT BLACK PEOPLE

My mother was young, immature, and traumatized by sexual abuse and neglect. With only a 17-year age difference, WE grew up together and literally took turns mothering each other. Shrouded in a childish, unconditional love that often felt more like friendship. Of all the black Momma'isms - I ain't never heard -"I'm not one of your little friends" My momma was my best friend "sing She's my best friend" and in that way we raised each other, advised, scolded and nurtured each other.

I spent an unknown amount of hours making what I'm calling industrial fringe. If you've ever struggled with disability or limited mobility you understand that deep yurning to move freely.

Que Jewelz ate this up!! And brought that sense of whimsical power to life!!

This Hand beaded jacket says, "A little girl could never be fast enough to catch a grown man that's not a predator."

A fast girl -"was asking for it", is isloated, shamed and shunned for her own r**e, grooming and sexual exploitation. Not to mention the fact that any little black girl regradless of behavior can be harshly labeled as fast for just existing in her skin... because how dare you develop breasts and hips --- you little girl must be a witch using your body to conjure and control the grown men---

Imagine the confidence that you can nurture in her if you realize the behaviors being called fast are often children seeking connection and validation. VALIDATING BEHAVIORS look like frequent and spontaneous completements for things other than her beauty, actively seeking her presence without expecting anything from her. Too many young Black girls are being labeled as fast with out ever being taught how to make connections that are not transactional in nature. My momma used to say, "A little girl could never be fast enough to catch a grown man that's not a predotor" Yet ya'll blaming a 13 year old little girl when a grown man is caught hiding under her bed.

As an orphan, my mother learned passivity is survival, because speaking up would mean abandonment. So she smiled in pictures next to her abusers and swallowed decades of pain to "keep the family together" or "not cause a scene" because they never stopped inviting her abusers to family functions.

Despite this, or more likely because of this... she was fiercely protective of children. Not just hers, but ALL children.

When I was 12 years old, my mom's friend, a 30'something, 40'something year old GROWN woman let her jealousy of a pr***en lead her to making up and spreading lies about me. Made up a whole story about how I'm fast, I'm hot in the ass, look how her hips spreading, that's beacuse she out here doing this and that. MADE UP A WHOLE SCENARIO that she SAW me doing all kinds of stuff. My momma told her to get the HELL OUT BECAUSE GIRL. APPERANTLY YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOU TALKING TO OR ABOUT.

As a child I felt immense reflief that I didn't have to prove myself to someone who should know better than anyone else in the world. As an adult, I'm blown away at how this singular incident could have changed my entire life and worldview, my relationship with my mother and my sense of self. It was profoundly important for me to learn that no matter how passive she was, no matter how uncomfortable conflict made her, she would stand up for me and protect me when it mattered most. That gave me so much peace, confidence, and resilience. I've always had a strong sense of self, knowing exactly who I am because I didn't have to beg for validation at home.

Of all the stories and lessons from my mother that I could have focused on, I chose this one because... I am so damn tired of the harsh ways in which black children are labeled. Stamped from the beginning from inside and outside our community. Oh he bad.. yea she fast... Is he bad or is he curious? Is he bored? Is he uninspire and disengaged? Is she fast or is she seeking connection, validation, and reassurance during puberty the most tumultuous point of human development.

My mother cared deeply about the little things, a hand made gift, a thoughtful note, a call just because would make her so happy. One of the last things she asked me for was a pair of jeans. I didn't have the skills to make them back then and locally no place made any that she could fit. She didn't directly ask just sort of mentioned it in passing conversation and I was living in New York doing an internship in the Garment District so I made it my mission to find somewhere that made jeans her size.

I found the perfect pair just before heading back home.

I still vividly remember how happy and surprised she was.

For this collection I made two pairs of jeans my first time ever making actual jeans and the amount of details I put into each is unreal.
