I’ve worked with Je’nique for a few months now as we’re both on the executive board of a club at my school. One thing I’ve noticed, however, is her great fashion sense, and so this is what I asked her about when interviewing her.
“Fashion has been something that I’ve always had an interest in from a very young age. I would always wear my moms heels and her clothes around the house. With fashion, I love that it gives you the ability to express yourself through clothing, whether it’s a custom outfit or a personalized piece of jewelry. As far as my aspirations with it, I am an upcoming model. I hope to encourage others to start representing their self for who they are because at times I know we tend to want to live up to others expectations of us which may be for you to have a certain aesthetic. Most of the time that isn’t truly who you really are.”
