About me
In 2016, I initiated Kids of the Diaspora (KOTD), a poetic fashion brand that evolved into an awareness empowerment movement for marginalized individuals. Harnessing the power of fashion, I conveyed the message « Deconstruct the Concept of Minority » to the world. Together with my sister Cherrie O., we deepened the purpose of KOTD, establishing a safe haven that provides a sense of belonging for marginalized people. Over the years, KOTD has gained international recognition through exhibitions, limited fashion collections, inclusive castings for film and advertising, talks, poetry, brand and community collaborations, short films, and healing events like „The Inner Garden Party“.
I operate as an independent art director for visual communication, offering guidance to creative agencies in their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies. We host various safe spaces on a weekly basis, such as KOTD Playdates for diverse kids and single parents, as well as SoulCare Sundays for grown ass kids.
