One way you celebrate Black History Month beyond February: <\/strong>\u201cI don\u2019t 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\u2019s something I carry with me year-round, not just in February.<\/p>\n

Your favorite Lulus piece right now, or one you can’t live without: <\/strong>\u201cOne 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\u2019s simple, flattering, and easy to style, which makes it one of my go-to looks.\u201d<\/p>\n

One value or lesson you\u2019ve learned from Black culture that stays with you: <\/strong>\u201cResilience 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\u2019s something I carry with me in how I move through life and build my career.\u201d<\/p>\n

One way you celebrate Black History Month beyond February: <\/strong>“Every day is an opportunity to celebrate Black culture. Either through my content or real-life discussions, my support for the Black community goes beyond just Black History Month.”<\/p>\n

One way you celebrate Black History Month beyond February: <\/strong>\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Your favorite Lulus piece right now, or one you can\u2019t live without: <\/strong>\u201cMy favorite Lulus piece right now is my \u201cBride\u201d bag, because it represents my current era of being a 2027 bride and planning a wedding–it\u2019s such a fun and meaningful piece for this season of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

One value or lesson you\u2019ve learned from Black culture that stays with you: <\/strong>\u201cBlack 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

One way you celebrate Black History Month beyond February: <\/strong>\u201cI celebrate Black history year-round by supporting Black-owned businesses, uplifting Black creatives through my content, and honoring Black culture through my hair embracing different hairstyles as a form of self-expression, heritage, and pride.\u201d<\/p>\n

Your favorite Lulus piece right now, or one you can’t live without: <\/strong>\u201cMy go-to Lulus piece is the Cambrea Black Pointed Toe Slingback Pumps. They\u2019re effortlessly chic and so comfortable that I wear them everywhere from weddings, brunch to concerts and graduations.\u201d<\/p>\n
