It’s a double celebration weekend 💃🏿🎉
I’m still taking in all the birthday wishes, prayers, messages and calls from yesterday. Thank you so much. I appreciate each and every one of you 🥰

But God said this weekend will be one filled with congratulations 🎉 We hit 500,000 KDivas 🎉

You made this possible, KDivas 💛
When I started this YouTube channel 9 years ago, I genuinely didn’t think it would become my full-time career—let alone lead me to a community of people who love creating fashion as much as I do.

One of the most beautiful parts of making things is bringing an idea from your mind into reality. And it’s even more beautiful because I’ve been blessed with the most supportive, honest, and loving community. You all make me better. You’ve stuck with me through all the pivots ( from hair tutorials, pattern making, sewing videos, fashion business, fabric shop tours, Fabric of Success podcast and more to come).

Your honesty, kindness, and love alongside the grace of God keep me going. I will always say that I’m simply a vessel through which God is uplifting someone, somewhere in the world.

My win is yours, because you made it happen 🙏 So thank you for 500,000. Will aim to keep using this platform to empower and inspire anyone who is willing to use the talent within themselves for more.
