Bio
I am a New York City native who found a familiar solace in the fashion and culture explosion Dallas has experienced in the past 15 years. Honestly, I couldn’t have arrived here at a better time. Back in 2002, I discovered that I could shop, eat, party and go to events and people would pay for the same kind opinions that I’d post on my blog anyway. Since then I’ve been a contributing writer for a number of publications including Dallas Morning News, Dallas Observer, D Magazine, Dallas Home Design, Houston Monthly, Re:D, BlackAmericaWeb.com, BET.com, and Allhiphop.com. Currently I am a contributor for Where Dallas, covering style and beauty since 2004, blogging the local shopping scene on Examiner.com, and lending style critiques as managing editor of SoulTrain.com.
