one year.

    

     I can’t believe it’s been one year since the launch of Dream In Fabric. I am so grateful for this entire year and being able to have the opportunity to share my journey of fashion, self-discovery of confidence, self-love, and providing history and hopefully helpful tips through fashion. It has been a huge part of my life for the past year; it has helped me learn more about myself while letting me be vulnerable in a sense of expressing my thoughts and feelings. I have always had the desire to reach out and connect with people in any form. These past two years have been extremely hard for others whether it’s adapting to this new abnormal world we currently live in or personal reasons. Being in quarantine during the pandemic had a significant impact on my mental health, and that was a new experience for me. I lost sight of who I was, what I loved, and what I wanted to do. I created Dream In Fabric as an honest and positive outlet not only for me, but possibly for others. For me, fashion was one of the main ways to have fun, express myself creatively, and find myself. 

My goal isn’t for this blog to tell someone how to do something or feel, but to not only help but for others to gain an understanding of other feelings and life experiences. I feel as though I am lucky to get the chance to express my life through the lens of fashion and also share some special pieces of fashion history and black culture. I could say that the basis of this blog is about fashion, but it’s so much more than that. This is an outlet for me to be able to be comfortable and confident about sharing who I am and using my voice, while also bringing attention to things that do not get enough recognition or attention.  If my platform can help someone in any way or someone can take away something from this, I know I did my job because I know my art form isn’t just for me but for others. 

Thank you so much for such a beautiful and unbelievable year with all of the support, advice, and love I received.  I hope that my insight continues to help my readers as Dream In Fabric keeps growing. I can’t wait for what's in store for the future of this blog and I wish everyone an abundance of love, growth, prosperity, and accomplishments with the start of a new year. Gratitude, as I always say, is so important, and I just want to say, “thank you” from the bottom of my heart.
