One way you celebrate Black History Month beyond February: “I don’t do anything super specific, but I try to celebrate Black history by staying connected to my culture, supporting people around me, and being proud of where I come from. It’s something I carry with me year-round, not just in February.

Your favorite Lulus piece right now, or one you can’t live without: “One of my favorite Lulus pieces is my cream dress. No matter the occasion, I always feel like I can pull it out and make it work. It’s simple, flattering, and easy to style, which makes it one of my go-to looks.”

One value or lesson you’ve learned from Black culture that stays with you: “Resilience is a value that stays with me. My upbringing showed me what it looks like to keep going with faith, strength, and grace through challenges. It’s something I carry with me in how I move through life and build my career.”

One way you celebrate Black History Month beyond February: “I always support Black-owned businesses year-round as a Black business owner myself; investing in and amplifying our communities is something I practice long after February ends.”

Your favorite Lulus piece right now, or one you can’t live without: “My favorite Lulus piece right now is my “Bride” bag, because it represents my current era of being a 2027 bride and planning a wedding–it’s such a fun and meaningful piece for this season of life.”

One value or lesson you’ve learned from Black culture that stays with you: “Black culture has taught me to be a leader in the face of insurmountable odds. Watching generations before me push forward, create opportunities, and lead with confidence despite barriers reminds me that my voice and presence matter. That lesson guides how I show up in my business, my community, and every space I enter.”
