I thought about when Maya Angelou said "Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, that's me." This made me think about other black phenomenal women out there who feel out of place.

And so I decided I wanted to create a clothing line that would enlighten, educate, and empower others out there so that maybe one day black women in a predominantly white professions would see themselves in their surroundings.

They would look up and see all the melanin shining from corner office to doctor office. Enlightened, educated, and empowered people are able to use the past and present to mold their future. They exude Black Excellence.
