In this episode, I talk to Keresse Dorcely about style being a visual representation of your personality, her style being classic with a twist, why she’s likely to be found laughing at a funeral {she’s the one we need to be sitting by, lol}, the outfit from her childhood that made her know she wanted to be stylish, moving to the beat of her own drum, understanding how colonialism once affected her self-worth and beauty ideals, the experiences that led her to learn how to sew, the item of clothing she buys monthly, the struggles of being taller and having larger feet, why compliments from Black women are a gift, and much more. In this episode she mentions: Norma Kamali Nordstrom  Bloomingdale's  Fumi The Label Hanifa Kelly Obi Ganni Scotch & Soda  Visit Keresse’s website. Follow Keresse on Instagram and Tik Tok!
