Back to School Fashion: In her teenage years, Jessica recalls how her mother would rush her to get dressed for school, unaware that every school day was like a fashion show. She meticulously planned her outfits, seeing each one as a chance to showcase her evolving identity. From experimenting with colors like purple to embracing trends like Baby Phat, fashion became a way for her to express herself and stand out.
As she grew older, these style choices weren't just about looking good; they were about defining who she was in a world that tried to label her. Despite her mother’s insistence that school was for learning 🙃 fashion became a significant part of her education, teaching her about self-expression and identity.
Now, as a successful fashion editor, she sees how those early fashion choices shaped her. She continues to use fashion as a tool to express her identity, particularly as a Black woman challenging societal norms and stereotypes. Whether it’s through vibrant colors, bold patterns, or traditional hairstyles like box braids, she uses fashion to make powerful statements about who she is, embracing her identity with confidence and flair.
And yes, she still takes her time getting ready—because presenting herself to the world is an art that simply can't be rushed.
