#Sponsored - As I continue to evolve, I find it even more important to better understand my ancestors and their experience in this country, which includes how black people are judged on the basis of what we wear and how we are constantly shifting culture.

After coming out, my personal style changed from streetwear to a more sartorial and tailored look as I was discovering the world of dandyism, more specifically the black dandyism. The black dandy has evolved from slavery to fashion, intentionally appropriating classical European style, with an African twist and aestheic. But, the black dandy is about more than pretty clothing. It’s a mood, confident way of living, and deep rooted rich culture that is ever evolving. And just as the black dandy has evolved, so have I because there’s more to my personal style than just suiting.
