I am 1 of 316 women accepted into the Spring 2026 cohort of the One Million Black Women: Black in Business program.💕✨

I’m so excited to grow with my ladies and learn from the instructors of .

This weekend was So full and I’m currently in deep reflection remembering when I first started.

The truth is…

I never saw myself as an entrepreneur… I’ve always been the creative kid- drawing, painting on clothes and shoes, taking things apart and putting them back together.

After graduating from , and working a full time job, I started my first company, Superficial Glamour with no plan…just a love for fashion and styling.

In 2012, I shifted to a new job that felt stifling and stressful, and creating became my outlet.

Around that time, I was inspired by a Malachite bracelet from Simmons Jewelry Co.. Learning about the Malachite stones and their healing properties was a game changer for me.

I loved the idea of wearing something that could ground me in environments that didn’t feel good, so, I started stringing beads and making my own wears.

I wasn’t trying to build a business y’all. I was creating to feel like myself again and wearing pieces that sparked joy. Then someone else saw my art and loved it.

My first customer was Hope, literally. 🥹

My good friend (Hope) saw a pair of earrings I made the night before work and bought them on the spot. That moment gave me the confidence to keep going, and pump up the volume.

In April 2014, just days before I said “I do,” I also said yes to the idea of New Vintage by Sam and walked away from my full time job. I was scared, but I was sure that I needed to seize the moment.

Since then, I have designed for organizations like the and , stocked my work in various retailers in the US (including ), and collaborated with schools and social impact organizations while bringing creative wellness to life through my work.

And I am still just getting started.

Rust & Royalty 🤎✨
March 7th, 301 Light St.

This wasn’t just a show… it was a gathering of Baltimore’s energy, expression, and community.

Thank you Nate Couser for tapping me in as the event stylist and trusting me to be a part of the vision.

This marked the first show of the year for and it felt right… styling real people, incorporating pieces from their own closets and letting their presence lead.

Thank you Baltimore for showing up- this is just the beginning.

If you’ve been looking to experience New Vintage by Sam in person, you can shop the collection at the or online.

Let’s take it back…

Before the beads and a business vision came to life, there was a little girl in Baltimore with a dream of creating more beauty for the world. ✨

“Make space to fall apart and pull yourself back together.”

That’s the affirmation that comes to mind today as the world feels uncertain and tender.

While outside feels like it’s crumbling, something deeper, more honest and deeply necessary is being revealed.

Sending love to Minneapolis as people gather to protest and demand better. 🫶🏾

Stay close to what’s Good and continue finding your Peace, always.
