00:00 I'm so excited to be here this evening to welcome you
00:03 to the Essence Best in Black Fashion Awards Dinner.
00:07 The fashion industry is here.
00:11 We're so happy that you guys came out to celebrate us
00:14 and to celebrate yourselves.
00:16 - Reading Essence, discovering it for the first time
00:19 and seeing black people look so beautiful
00:22 and so chic and so elegant.
00:24 - When I tell you looking at Essence
00:25 and seeing the stories about black creatives
00:29 that worked in the industry encouraged me
00:31 because when I look in vogue, I didn't see that.
00:33 - Welcome to Essence Fashion House.
00:39 - I am just a huge fan of African luxury
00:46 because I feel like Africa is luxury
00:49 and I think black is luxury.
00:51 - What we really need to understand and be educated about
00:53 is the culture we have owned for a long time
00:56 and the obligation everybody in this room has
00:59 to move it forward.
01:00 - We as people of color, we can't buy into all the marketing
01:05 that's telling us we have to buy and throw away.
01:07 I wanna see you on Instagram and TikTok
01:09 showing me how you can wear that great dress
01:12 five different ways.
01:13 - The hardest part about mental health is saying no.
01:17 - Yesterday was the first day of school.
01:19 I was not at work.
01:20 I was with my children.
01:22 I took that day off.
01:23 That's how I said no.
01:27 - Essence Fashion House!
