My love for fashion began as a little girl, I sewed my first line on a sewing machine. My mom went to a high school that specialized in trades. Her focus was fashion design & constructing. She'd make a new church outfit for her mom for church every week and had the dream like most in her class of starting their own fashion line. She dreaed to be like Kimora Lee Simmons with her two girls, my sister and I walking down the runway in her latest collection. She liked jeans, like denim. For her last showcase in high school she made a denim collection pieces, after hours of work she completed everything, hung em up to showcase. She came back the next day and they were gone...stolen. I think after a while, after disappointments...she started losing passion for it. 

Until she had my sister and I she would make our outfits. Any group of sisters know that those first couple years, your mom is dressing you two alike and thats exactly what she did. The outfits she made were like the Destiny's child special, same fabric, but different style. I loved that she explored her creativity and it didn't die or get given up on....it just transformed, evolved with time.

​

Now, I was shy....ish. But when it was time to show our new outfits or new clothes, thats when the light started shining and I was no more shy Destiny. I could own it, if it was showtime , then that's what I could give you, a show! I loved that I had this imagination and my mom encouraged big dreams and believing creatively.  After that I would start making my own little outfits and as any millenial kid, the birth of YouTube university was my sourace to learn so many things. In fact, I liked that school much more.

Into my middle and high school years, I would put myself in more programs, contest, schooling, events that had everything to do with learning fashion, art, history. This was a very crucial time in my development where my learning, discovering, and curiousity became the muse in how I can express myself through art.  

Actually, one thing that I discovered is how everything is connected. It has alot to do with purpose, and living, and belief, God....children of God. The more I started to talk, pray, and let God lead me . I would be in awe of learning and having these Aha! moments. As children of God we are naturally creators'. Like every seed has a purpose and when you live out the purpose it helps grow other seeds. Idk, maybe I'll get more into that later, but it all makes sense. 

I think with this blog , I literally had this dream....idea for a while...but it has been like an odyssey, none the less a very long journey. 
Quite, honestly, I had to constantly be reminded of Jeremiah 29:11 and God named me Destiny. I think that's part of my calling. 

The message is that we really are born with a purpose. Its learning who we are, believing in who we are, and essentially walking in who we are meant to be.  I hope that I can use this platform to share that....and I hope you'll be inspired by that too.
