So Brooklyn!

   The years I spent living in Brooklyn are the ones that truly shaped me. So without a doubt I had to do a post in honor of my 2nd home; Brooklyn. There's something quite prideful about being a Brooklynite. Ask a Brooklynite where they're from and with oozing pride they'll respond "Brooklyn!". I enjoyed the culture Brooklyn offered me. It was rough and tough; in your face and straight to the point kind of culture. It's a tea that might burn too hot for the timid. But I loved it.

More Than A Woman; Aaliyah Tribute Outfit

    

  This year marks the 15 year passing of the earth angel who was Aaliyah. She was my icon growing up; her style, music, passion for her art and drive was an inspiration to myself and many. I remember listening to her music all the time; in fact, her "Are You That Somebody" track is what made me fall in love with music.  My 10 year old self wanted to be just like Aaliyah; just as beautiful, just as defiant and just as talented. I still do!
