Malkia Collection - 2020/21
My Malkia Collection was inspired by many different African Prints across the continent and the BLM Movement. The collection is called Malkia, which translates to "Queen" Swahili because we are all queens no matter where we are from. I created this my senior year of high school.
Malkia Pink Dress
My Malkia Pink Dress was originally the idea for my prom dress.
Malkia Purple Dress
My Malkia Purple Dress was inspired by African royalty and was the main inspiration for the collection name: Malkia.
Malkia Yellow Dress
The Dress was inspired by the 1970s Afro and the idea of being proud of our culture. When Afros became popular, many black women referred to it as "going natural" in the 1960s during the Civil Rights Movement.

This jumpsuit was inspired by my little sister who although likes soft colors, has a large personality.
Malkia Red Dress
My Malkia Red Dress was inspired by my mom who has always given me confidence in my designs.
Malkia Green Jumpsuit
My Malkia Green Jumpsuit was inspired by the strength of Black Women.
