Not only for her great parenting and not acquiescing to my many whimsical and outrageous requests and tantrums … but also her style, her epic closet, and glamour that introduced me to the power of fashion.”
She concluded her speech with the following, “Use fashion as an entrance. Let your clothes be your superhero cape, allowing you to the best you you can be. It doesn’t matter if you wear a black tie or a Black Lives Matter T-shirt, but suit up and show up, because our action creates our destiny, our joy creates space for our freedom.”
