Her collections are inspired and designed to highlight the diversity of the black diaspora and continued efforts to improve equity and inclusion. Her unseen contemporary Mental Health Collection (MHII) aims to address and draw attention to the mental health crisis, in a way that sparks change in how her community adresesses mental health. Through this Mental Health Collection (MHII) the intention is clear, making mental health openly discussed and progressively handled in a way that leads to healthy healing. This collection was developed in Paris, France at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic and the height of the Black Lives Matter movement globally. She was moved by both, so the collection explores the connecting points of intersectionality within our community. This collection highlights sustainability in a damaged world, so all garments included are adjustable and also include just enough extra sustainable fabric within for sizing changes.
