KD: How would you summarize your success story, for readers who are unfamiliar with your work? B: “I would summarize my success by saying I started a company, Harlem’s Fashion Row, with just an idea —an idea with no connections, no relationships — and have been able to turn that idea into a multi-million dollar business. A business that serves designers of color and connects them with companies like Nike and Banana Republic. At this point, we’ve been able to serve over 200 Black designers, which is a proud moment.”
