8. What is your dream project?

My dream project: Has begun, it's to create a love movement fueled by youth, photography and fashion. I had a tragic frenemy's boyfriend erase my images off my fashion site. I was so devastated, I walked out of the riser at fashion week and began to ask front row guests to show me their drama. The next year I asked guests to peace out. Then in 2018 walking alongside Spring Studios with my Jr Team, we saw this man's floor length top coat, that had a sinister image on the back. I said I have to meet him. We walked up, chatted, smoked a ciggie, and he asked if we were coming inside. We walked past all the lil nasty girls with clipboards, and entered Alber Elbaz's Lanvin party. The set design was over-the-top with his face on everything. During the event a guest came up and did the bullseye over their eye. That's when the new concept morphed for that coming season occurred. I never stopped sliding that bullseye into my fashion documentary during backstage, front row and afterparties. 

Feb 2020 the last fashion week before the pandemic shutdown, I bought the domains NOHATEOK, NOHATEOKAY, NOH8OK, and NOHATEOK.WORLD.

GoDaddy called me immediately after the purchase.

I'd love to get the trademark for it not only in the USA, but in CHINA, KOREA, and JAPAN. I had two friends that had their names hi-jacked for crazy ransom money. OK means Yes, Ok is always COOL. Youth are the future to stop the hate in the world. My project would be to work with designers to create fashion capsules with a limited range of items, that will go up in value, and be sustainable. I have 8yrs of all fun photos of the bullseye to market on social media.

Love should conquer Hate.
