I LOVE FASHION BECAUSE: I’ve always loved creating a look that was unique to me. I’m Nigerian and growing up we’d wear matching traditional Nigerian outfits to events but for parties we used to shop for new outfits.

“I enjoy pushing the limits by piecing together looks that can feel safe but then adding an extra accessory or color that may not actually be the norm.” –Lisa

WHEN I STEP INTO NEW SHOES: I feel like a brand-new person. I love the color of the Padma Heeled Slide Sandals and I love how the they add a pop to any outfit. I also like the fact they are different and are not as safe as wearing a black or nude shoe color.

MY MUST-HAVE BAG: Has room and compartments to keep me organized so I’ll have everything I need while out and about, especially since I live in NYC.
“The Tansy Multi Compartment Carryall is the perfect size for me, as I am always on the go. The black neutral color also allows me to wear it with a large variety of colors in my entire outfit.” –Lisa

“I’m a force for change because I encourage people to be okay with their own style. Whenever my friends ask what they should wear to an event or an occasion I encourage them to wear an outfit that makes them feel in their own vibe and element. It’s a beautiful experience to be able to show up without looking like everyone else.” –Lisa
