Before I helped leaders discover their colors…

I helped predict them.

This photo takes me back to my days as a Trend Forecaster.

Before a season ever reached the runway or the retail floor, my job was to analyze consumer behavior, cultural shifts, color direction, silhouettes, fabrics, + emerging trends….then organize thousands of data points into a story that brands could confidently bring to market.

People often ask me why I created Influential Color Analysis (ICA).

The answer starts here.

Traditional color analysis asks:

“What colors look best on me?”

ICA asks a different question:

“What am I communicating before I ever say a word?”

After years of studying how people respond to color, perception + visual cues on a global scale, I realized the same principles shaping consumer decisions also shape leadership, trust, confidence + influence.

That’s why ICA isn’t about following trends.

It’s about understanding your biology, your identity, and your leadership presence so you can intentionally communicate who you are.

Because while trends change…

Influence doesn’t go out of style.

ICA is for the leader, entrepreneur, executive, speaker, or professional who’s ready to up their visibility + start showing up with intention.

Comment COLOR if you’re ready to discover what your visual communication is saying before you speak.

Some moments only make sense when you look back.

Years ago, in the beginning of my design career I was working with the NBA brand + Dave Huie walked me into our exclusive office (I honestly thought I was in trouble.) but instead he introduced me to Allan Houston. 😅

Allan looked at me + said he was a + wanted to hear my poetry piece “Will God have Mercy on Me?” I was shocked…Wow!

That conversation became the beginning of years of unexpected opportunities, incredible relationships + collaborations with New York Knicks.

Looking back,
it wasn’t just talent.
It wasn’t networking.
It wasn’t luck.

It was the Divine Grace of God opening doors I never could have opened on my own.

I’ve been blessed to experience so many unforgettable moments along the way + every one of them reminds me that purpose has a way of finding you when you’re faithful.

And one more thing…

This year, we’re winning it all. 🏀💙🧡

Congratulations to the New York Knicks on a legendary comeback. The journey isn’t over yet.

✨ JUST ANNOUNCED ✨

I’m bringing the Influential Color Analysis™ (ICA) Experience to the
My Mind Is My Business™ Conference 2026 in Houston.

Session: How You Show Up Matters
Let me be clear
This is not about style trends.

This is about how using color to gain more influence + balance.

Inside this experience + live ICA Demo, you’ll discover:
• What Influential Color Analysis (ICA) actually is
• How your natural features + identity influence what you should wear
• How color communicates trust, authority, and visibility in real time
• Why some people get immediate buy-in… and others get overlooked

Because color is not preference.
It’s strategy. It’s communication. It’s influence.

If you’ve ever felt like:
“I know I’m qualified… but I’m not being fully seen”
This is the room you need to be in.

We’re not just talking about showing up…
We’re redefining it. 💪🏽

When you empower people…
something unexpected happens.
The empowerment finds its way back to you.

I’m so proud of my friend she was the speaker for 2026 Conference. You spoke to a room full of women while grieving the loss of your mother on her birthday. And you still chose to show up… to encourage… to lift others.❤️💪🏽

That kind of strength is rare.

I’m so proud of her for choosing purpose in the middle of pain.

And moments like this remind me why I do the work I do.

When one woman rises, she gives other women permission to rise too. ❤️

When I left the fashion industry, I thought I was done with color.

I actually took it off my résumé.
I didn’t see a path for it outside of fashion.
I thought, That chapter is over.

Then I started writing my latest book, The Art of Showing Up in Style.
And something clicked.
As I reflected on my career, I realized something I had never named before

When I was in front-facing roles...presenting global color trends, pitching ideas, selling vision to brand leads and department heads...I wasn’t just talking about color…

I was using color.
I wore color on purpose.
I chose colors to build trust.
To feel confident.
To influence the room.
Even while presenting the trends, I was applying color psychology to my own presence.
That’s when I came back to the power of color.
Here’s the simple truth:

Color is a key Influencer.

It works in three ways:
🧬 Bio
Based on your undertones,
yes certain color will be a natural filter for you.
Is it a warm or cool color that will YOU appear more vibrant?

🧠 Internal Influence
Color affects your nervous system.
It can help you feel calm, steady, confident, or overwhelmed.

👀 External Influence
Color shapes perception.
Before you speak, people already feel something about you.
This is what The Art of Showing Up in Style is really about.

And it’s why I created Influential Color Analysis™ (ICA).
Trends come and go.

But COLOR has always been influencing how we show up, lead, and connect.

ICA waitlist is opening soon.

Because color isn’t decoration.
It’s communication.
And when you understand it you don’t just show up…
YOU Influence.

How often do you play with new ?

I decided to have a little fun with brown — because she’s that quiet luxury that never goes out of style. 🤎

Dark Brown + Black → sleek, confident, and commanding.

Dark Brown + Red → bold and sensual with a touch of drama.

Brown + Black + Winter White w/ Pop Color → timeless sophistication with a modern edge…add a red lip or bold accessory + watch the energy shift.

Dark Brown + Caramel + Dusty Turquoise → warm meets cool, grounded yet free.

Dark Brown + Vibrant Blue → classic earth meets electric sky.

Brown doesn’t have to blend in — she can stand out with intention.

Which combo speaks to your vibe today? 👇🏽

What if your Leadership Style could be Color Coded?🤔

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak to a room full of HR Professionals and the topic? 😊

Color: one of the most underutilized tools in leadership.

Have you ever heard of ?
It’s the science of how color impacts your confidence, your credibility, and even how others respond to you.

Because color isn’t just aesthetic…it’s energetic.
It can calm anxiety before a big presentation, build trust in the boardroom, or help you command the room without saying a word.

When leaders understand how to use color intentionally, they unlock a new level of influence, communication, and presence.

That’s exactly why I created the Influential Color Analysis™ (ICA) a new process that helps you not just look good, but lead better.

Learn how to use COLOR for internal confidence + external influence.
