ASOS has replicated yet another one of my designs. IYAH was dedicated to my children, a continuation of kindred bonds, the history of the cowrie.shell and the symbolism they hold. See the shell placement, colour and name they used for a design that means the world to me.

This happened in Ajax guys (an area w/ the highest Black population percentage of any major Canadian city). The couple was in their 60’s at the time of the incident. Don’t you ever for a second think that our Blackness is sheltered by age or even protected in the suburbs.
BREAKING: New eyewitness video shows Toronto-area police officers repeatedly beating an elderly black couple in their 60's, to point of nearly becoming unconscious. The couple had just left the hospital. No charges have been laid. 1/9

The resemblance between Simijah and Bottega Veneta’s sandal is jarring and simply cannot be ignored. If you understand how much I’ve poured into operating as an independent designer— remind everyone that Simijah is available for purchase at

My ideas, hard work & ability to provide for my family is worth so much more than what these fast fashion brands keep doing to me. I’ve spent the last 7 yrs designing, producing & building my brand for these companies to not only dupe my designs but EVERY single colour I release
