ESSENCE
In my fashion and culture contributions to ESSENCE, I write about the impact of sartorial moments within the contememporary industry landscape.
Leading with particular reverence for the Black editorial tradition, I engage my writing here with application of African-American historical contextuality, placing aesthetic analysis within the chronology of beauty, desirability, and marketability politics.
In addition to feature essays, I complete SEO-optimized news writing surrounding more time-sensitive activiations (i.e. New York Fashion Week, etc.).
