What Nikki Giovanni Taught Me About Style, Self-Discovery, and Being Seen

"If you don't understand yourself you don't understand anybody else." - Nikki Giovanni, American Poet

When news of Nikki Giovanni's transition was announced last week, I found myself revisiting her powerful words. The above quote particularly resonated with me, a long time lover of her work.

This truth resonates deeply with my own journey. During my darkest moments of crying in a closet full of clothes that no longer fit, I finally realized my struggle with my wardrobe was not about the clothes. It was about not knowing or accepting myself. This journey of self-discovery is both our greatest challenge and most powerful gift. The work of understanding and acceptance, while challenging, is the cornerstone of creating a life that is true and fulfilling.

Having walked this path myself, I now consider it a profound honor to guide others through their own journey of self-discovery and expression. What we wear tells the story of who we believe ourselves to be, and when we align our style with our authentic selves, everything shifts.

When your world gets chaotic, having a clear understanding of who you are makes riding out the storm easier.

In your closet, this self-knowledge is transformative. It helps you curate a wardrobe that truly aligns with your personality and goals, dress confidently for your current shape and size, and make intentional purchasing decisions that serve your vision.
