Harlem is the birthplace of The Black Renaissance, which led the way for our enlightenment. As Slaves, that wasnt possible, because we were forbidden to read by our Masters. Reading is an act of liberation. If you’re “WOKE” but dont read, your eyes are open but you mind is asleep

I had trouble sewing my life together, so God made me a tailor. Then, a dream of being a designer was born. I didn’t let anything nor anybody rip that dream away from me. Now, from the corners of Harlem to the runways of Europe, by way of Africa, I’m living that dream. (cont.)
