Fashion Records Fashionista: Shekinah

---

On the Map:

I’m American and my parent is from Haiti. I currently live in Brooklyn, New York.

Not many people know that…

I love to write poetry. It’s a way of escaping from reality and becoming one with myself

What’s on your Ipod:

I’m a big R&B fan, but I also enjoy listening to hip hop, pop, reggae, and plenty more.  I’m not closed minded when it comes to music.

You used to be a tomboy. Was there a single moment in time, if any, where you remember seeing a concept of style and then emulating it?

Well I actually do.  Its funny but I used to emulate Alicia Keys when I was younger with the braided hair and her style of dress. Also Aaliyah and Lisa Left eye Lopez from TLC.

You had a challenging life and I am so inspired how strong you came out to be. What is your advice to anyone facing their own problems?

I would tell them to keep their heads up.  God never puts in certain situations that he doesn’t feel we can handle. What doesn’t kill us will only make us stronger in the end.

What are you currently working on?

I’m currently not in school but I’m working at the moment full time at Victoria Secret. I know there’s no career in that for me so, I will be returning back to school in the fall.

What do you do on the spare time that you have?

Try to get my workout in at the gym to keep my self in shape. I hang out with my friends and try to get into a few photo-shoots in between.

How would you describe your fashion style?

I would describe my fashion style as dangerous / outcast. I would say it’s dangerous because in the society that we live in, today, people dwell too much on the opinions of others rather than their own. I don’t need the approval of people to put something on that I like. As long as I like it and it makes me happy that’s all that matters. Outcast for I try to make a statement rather than follow one.

Your motto…

Can’t be bitter about life if you want change then make it, if not than stop complaining.

It’s a wrap. Thanks Shekinah.
