Stop Asian hate. Standing up today and every day with my AAPI brothers and sisters. We are ALL witnessing the rise in hatred and violence towards Asian Americans so I believe we can ALL come together and stop it.

LA Weekly just debuted their ✨Winter Glow Box!✨ I’m thrilled to support these Women owned business and LA favorites with the most jam packed subscription box in existence - full of my must-have products and some new hot items.

“She’s not your Competition. She’s proof that it can be done.” - Unknown
As Women somehow we have been wired to believe we’re always in competition with the next one; whether it’s our beauty, physique, intellect or opportunity. Especially as Black women we have been trained to believe there’s only space for one of us and we treat each other as such.

ALL Moms are “working Moms” can I get an Amen? To all the tired Mamas working at home, away from home, within the home and juggling it all in-between, I see you and I champion you. I’ve worked in all of these roles intermittently and it is as difficult as it is rewarding - equally and all the same…

New @Swiminista campaign is out! 👙 I never dreamed that I would still be able to model in my 30’s. This shoot and @andrea_bernholtz embody everything that I love about how our society and the fashion industry are changing. “We can be beautiful at all ages. Feminine beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, ways.”

It's the little things in my daily routine that make the difference in my day.I am amazed by how much my all-new Amazon Echo Dot makes my life easier and I've been having a blast using Alexa to help me get set up for the holidays!

Unlocking 🔑 Lockdown in my new Golden Horse Skates! 🛼 Since I was a little girl I’ve always loved rollerblading and dancing on skates. It’s been a few years since I’ve been on wheels and I’m so excited to relearn. This is just Day 1 of my journey and I’ll be posting more videos of my progress.

Los Angeles Magazine invited me to join them in an experiential dinner celebrating their 60th Anniversary. Hosted by Josef Vann and Maer Roshan, in partnership with Cadillac, the theme was Never Stop Arriving. Cadillac coined this term with the mindset of fearless evolution and not defining ourselves by what we used to be - or by what others thought we were - but by evolving to lead the future we see ahead of us. Curated around this mentality, the elegant and socially distanced event took place at The Beach Club Santa Monica at the Victorian.

I am thrilled to finally announce that I recently launched a passion project with my good friend, Rhiannon Dourado - Cause Together. Cause Together is a new platform for people to share their favorite volunteer organizations and non-profit companies. We created the platform to as a resource for anyone wanting to bring more social good into their community. You can support vetted nonprofits that generally have little additional budget for marketing and help them to get the exposure they deserve. Our platform will help you find volunteer opportunities and connect with your community IRL.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I struggle with energy crashes during the day because I can’t drink coffee. (I’m sensitive to caffeine and coffee gives me the shakes). I’ve tried taking B vitamins, extra vitamin D, green tea and other natural supplements but nothing quite combats the #Momlife exhaustion. In my stories this past week I shared my trial with @medterracbd Good Morning + Good Night capsules and I’ve had tremendous success!

As part of the Fashion Mamas Diversity Committee initiative, we are hosting monthly Mama Markets that highlight and uplift the different cultures in our community. We kicked off #LatinxHeritageMonth yesterday with the Fashion Mamas #LatinxMamaMarket x Havaianas event. In the wake of mourning our loss of RBG, THE Warrior of Women, I just want to hold my Mamas even tighter, love them harder and stand with them like we did today.

I’ve always been a proponent of natural beauty. I have a meticulous skincare routine, almost never wear make up, never drink alcohol or smoke, + I drink tons of water. Being in the fashion industry since I was 13yo taught me the importance of taking care of my body and skin from the inside out.

Being mixed doesn’t just affect how you look, it affects how you view the world. We embrace duality. We see it as our power. We feel a responsibility to bridge the gap. We provide empathy where we see it lacking. We encourage others to challenge their ideas in the way the world has challenged us. We reckon with the idea that our existence begs important questions. We are the definition of diversity, so we understand the necessity for it. We are misunderstood yet we seek to understand…

I am lucky that my circle of friends has always been intentionally multicultural and diverse, but I worked HARD for that. Never having fit in anywhere, I sought to fit in everywhere. I had to actively seek to understand other people's backgrounds and cultures, to learn more about their struggles and where we connected in our shared human experience. Embracing my differences and uniqueness unapologetically made me more open minded and accepting of the same in others. The beautiful result of this hard work is that my life is enriched by a multicultural community, I’m able to traverse complex environments with a sense of versatility, and I learned to live an authentic experience from inside of me, rather than performing for outside expectations or prescribed norms.

Shot at the stunning Oaks Club in Valencia, California, O’Gara Coach and Rolls-Royce Beverly Hills partnered with BB Lifestyle for the shoot providing a modern twist to the elegant theme with 2020 Rolls-Royce Phantom in a classic, British racing green. Alongside the O’Gara vehicle, world-renowned Peterson Automotive Museum provided a 1927 Rolls-Royce Phantom previously owned by Fred Astaire in the matching British coloring.

Our children are our whole world and we’d do anything to keep them safe. But the sad reality is that child trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal enterprise in the world. It’s time to #riseupforchildren and join the fight to #endhumantrafficking. If you’re not sure what you can do, we can start by talking about it. Follow @ourrescue and the founder @timballard89 for two great resources.

I very purposely gave my son the middle name Malcolm to honor my favorite Civil Rights activist, Malcolm X. Malcolm X had the audacity to challenge racism and systemic prejudice in a way that didn’t make people feel comfortable, but it caused them to question their bias. My challenge now will be modeling and teaching my son the tools he will need to use his privilege for social justice. Likewise, I will raise my son to recognize when something is wrong and to use his privileges in a positive way by making it right.

So very honored, excited and happy to announce that I will be SERVING on the @fashionmamas Diversity Committee! This Mama Tribe has been a safe and welcoming space for me and I’m grateful to be able to give back to you and help make a real difference!
