Here’s the Tea: 24 Random Questions with Me @Good_WillHuntin
I have been 24 for exactly a week, and as promised here are my 'Ask Me Anything,' where I open up about my favorite things, my crazy fashion ideas, and my legacy.
1. What year were you born?
I was born in 1996, am I still considered a 90’s baby?
2. Where did you grow up?
I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, and I grew up in a special neighborhood called Gentilly.
3. How many siblings do you have?
I have one older sister, and we’re five years apart. I’m pretty sure if you saw us together you would say were twins. However, we are complete opposites, plus she’s a Taurus so she’s very stubborn. (No offense to any Taurus, readers.)
4. Where do you currently live?
I currently reside in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.
MOOD:
5. Who is your first best friend?
My best friend has been my childhood friend since the 5th grade, Terrell G. Allen, we have laughed together, cried together and the memories only continue to get better as we get older.
6. How tall are you?
I stand at 6’1 if my shoe has a heel 6’5.
7. Are you in/have you gone to college?
I am a graduate of the illustrious Dillard University, where I majored in Mass Communication with a focus in Multi-Media Journalism. I also minored in Visual Arts. (Thus, the creativity duh!)
8. Are you single or taken?
I am single and let me tell you I am heavily surveying the market. Alexa, play “Hot Girl Summer”
9. When you gone be for me?
AND I OOP….
10. What’s one goal you want to achieve in your 24th year?
In my 24th year, I want to become more confident in my vision and stop overthinking and doubting myself. Also, with that in mind find a way to turn my creativity into residual income.
11. How do you want to be remembered personally & professionally?
I want to be personally remembered as a humble, generous, and confidently fearless leader. I would want to professionally be known for my work that I put out, from concept to delivery to execution. A visionary if you will.
12. Who is your biggest inspiration?
So, there are a few people that come to mind because I try my inspiration from a different place for each project, some being family & friends, designers, and artists. I think one that has had the most impact would have to be Billy Porter, he was one of the main sources of inspiration for my Halloween costume and everything else has just followed suit.
13. What are your biggest fears?
I am most afraid of the feeling of letting all of the people who have invested their time, energy, and support into me down. I sometimes feel the weight of others on my shoulders, so I find myself constantly thinking, “You’re not just doing, this for yourself.”
14. What are your guilty pleasures?
I love watching the cake and cookie decorating videos, time-lapsed makeup tutorials or makeovers, and pancake art I could watch those videos for hours.
15. What is your spirit animal and why?
A Bumble Bee, and here’s why first, they are the most important insect in the world right now #savethebees, and second "According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyways. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.”
16. What is your drink of choice?
If I’m feeling classy or out at happy hour, I’ll grab either a dirty martini (with extra olives), a Moscow mule, or an old fashion. If I am just chilling with my friends anything brown. (Hennessey, Dusse, Crown or Jack, although after my birthday 1942 now has a special place in my heart.)
17. What is your go-to fast food order?
This is easy McDonald’s, a six-piece chicken nugget with one barbecue and buffalo sauce, small fry and a large sweet tea with lemon. IN THAT ORDER.
18. What is your favorite movie?
The Devil Wears Prada, and Sex & The City. ( However, only the first one the sequel does not have the range.) They have made me the person I am today; I can quote The Devil Wears Prada and the scene where Carrie is left at the altar, gets me every time.
19. What are some things you can’t live without?
MY CELL PHONE. It is always the one thing that I keep near me at all times, I constantly have those nervous pat-downs you get when you think you lost it. However, although its always near I acknowledge I am a horrible texter! HORRIBLE.
20. What is the last song you listened too?
The last song I listened to was Freak, by Jada Michael heard it on twitter and I said “Oh this it!”
21. How would you describe your fashion sense/style?
I have tried my hardest to get out of the mindset of trying to be on-trend, and use my sense of fashion to create art or moments so I would say “constantly evolving.”
22. How do you get ideas to put your outfits together?
So my creative process first, everything begins with some form of inspiration, the first thing I usually do once I get the idea is to call my friends to ask, “Do you think I can pull this off?!” usually they are very honest. Immediately after getting my friends on board, I run the vision down to the photographer which usually calls for some Pinterest boards. Then, I begin searching online for the outfit, I start with the base of whatever the “focal piece” is and work around it with shoes, accessories, etc. After I have the outfit, I try it on and photograph it so I can how everything looks on my body and adjust from there. Lastly, once we get the idea, the outfit and photographer we shoot it, edit, and roll it out.
23. Can we please collaborate and have a shoot together? I want to get involved and show support.
YES! YES and YES! I am always down to collaborate, as long as it’s well planned and thought out. I think it’s also important to know what you want to learn from the other person.
24. What do you want your legacy to be?
I want the work/projects I have done to influence others positively, shed light on important topics, and create discussions that will continue for generations. I want my legacy to be one filled with:
many good relationships and friendships,
a great number of individuals who I have mentored and guided at different stages in their life.
contributions to fashion, the city of New Orleans, and the African American gay males in America.
