Somebody pinch me I have to be dreaming…I wheelied my bike for Vogue World Runway.
I don’t think wheelied is even a word, but it describes what I did. I still can’t believe I did that, and it really was a honor for me for so many reasons.
The first, The Devil Wears Prada. I have seen this movie so many times, it is one of my go to feel good movies. Who didn’t want to be Andy and land the job a million girls would kill for, but for me it was Andreas integrity in the movie. Her drive and hard work is what she wanted to be recognized for and I connect with that so much. I definitely need to read the book,because the book is ALWAYS better.
Also, Miranda Prisely who is based on Anna Wintour, Vogue’s editor-in-Chief since 1988 and Global Chief Content Officer is a BOSS ASS BITCH! Women can not be successful bosses without having the bitchy element and she stands confidently in hers. If it doesn’t align with her vision, its a hard no….unapologetically. I admire and aspire to channel that energy on all my endeavors.
And lastly it’s the alignment. I have been following my passions and have asked God and the Universe to have me booked and paid in all of them, and sheesh God has been working. I have been asking to wheelie Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty Fashion Show, and I got VOGUE!!! A magazine I remember my mother buying religiously when I was younger. The magazine that one of my favorite movies is loosely based on. VOGUE THE FASHION POWERHOUSE!!!!! And I got to wheelie my bike down that runway.
Still I can not believe it. I am beyond honored and grateful for this experience. The entire process, the long day for my fitting, the rehearsals in the rain, and the show we put on….it was such a dope moment to be apart of. I was handpicked by such a phenomenal woman, who saw my potential to represent my community for her fashion show….man someone pinch me. This shit is crazy.
