For the past few years, I have been working on a career in fashion design by way of making my own brand. I moved to Los Angeles from St. Louis, Missouri, and have put in so much time, effort, and money to get to the point I'm at so far.

Last month, I was able to attend Paris Fashion Week. An achievement I've always hoped for. It took months of making samples, making line plans, sewing, and doing photo shoots.

All that hard work seemed to pay off until my backpack was stolen upon landing back in Los Angeles.

The most important things to me, my brand, and career were in that bag, setting me back quite a bit in time and finances.

With time and money not being on my side currently, I'm making this GoFundMe to hopefully replace and remake the things that I've lost.
