Wonder if you remember what you were doing this time last year? Let me refresh your memory. You were chasing your dream. You were up late at night slaving away at creating and styling looks for your first showcase. Later on that day, you set fashion free. In one year you have accomplished so much and have tremendously progressed. In my
[humble]opinion you don’t have to chase your dream anymore, you’ve caught it. Just continue to protect it. God bless and love you my darling. *in your voice*@JaiShawnee
Happy Anniversary Bestie!
Dear Kay,
Today marks the three year anniversary of this crazy journey that we are upon. I remember how we officially became besties, three years ago. We were floating around life and not allowing anyone or anybody hold us back upon our journey. In that time we have had many ups and a few downs. Kay, throughout it all you have bee a solid rock in my life. I remember when I first told you that I wanted to become a fashion stylist, you were, and still is very supportive of my journey. I look back over the last three years and I am completely and abundantly grateful to have shared so many life changing moments with you. I remember when you gave me that necklace that read “muse” it was the highest compliment I have ever received. I hold myself to that. I’ve never told you this, but when I’m down, or need to motivation I wear that necklace and it reminds me of my purpose. Many people come into your life, few people shape your life. I could write a book on the crazy adventures of Jai and Kay; but I won’t. I will bask in the memories and prepare to make more memories, to document this for the world to one day see. To know you, has been an honor, to be apart of your life as been life changing. No words I can type can fully explain, what all of these memories truly mean. Thank you.
Sincerly, your biggest fan
Jai

Next step is to create a door so other girls can walk through…
Stay tuned…
Keep trying for what you love. Never give up… success can come at any age. And most importantly, do not worry about failing…mistakes are a prerequisite for success.

Women of color can get unnecessarily competitive, believing the myth that there’s only a few spaces at the top. Harriette encouraged everyone to not believe the hype–and help each other as much as they can.
