Today, on this rainy day, I feel the weight of loss. My friend and colleague, Melanie Harris, a gifted makeup artist and a beautiful soul, has passed on.
We first crossed paths on Aaliyah’s One in a Million project, and from that moment on, Melanie became more than just a collaborator she was a source of support, laughter, and steady presence through countless projects over the years. She could always be counted on, both in her artistry and in her spirit.
It saddens me deeply to know she is no longer with us. May her light continue to shine in the memories of all who knew her, and may she rest in peace

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Walter Greene (), a distinguished fashion journalist, cherished colleague, and someone who played a mentoring role in the early years of my career. I just saw you this past September at Epperson’s fashion show, and you greeted me with the same love and warmth despite the time that had passed.
You were always so encouraging and supportive of my fashion journey. I’ll never forget that you gave me my first feature in the iconic Sister2Sister magazine in the late ’90 a moment that helped shape my path. Your belief in me and your unwavering consistency over the years have meant so much.
Walter’s legacy in the fashion world is profound. His dedication to nurturing emerging talent and his genuine passion for the industry will leave a lasting mark. You will be deeply missed, but your impact will continue to inspire us all.

Rest in power. 🙏🏾🖤
