What’s one thing most people don’t know about you? I’ve played the Bassoon since I was 12. 🙂

What’s your go-to sneaker? I have at least 3 go-to sneakers: Vapormax, Chuck Taylor, Yeezy 500

How many sneakers do you have? Too many to count. Definitely over 300

How would you define a “sneakerhead”? I don’t really like the term sneakerhead. 😬

When styling yourself, what comes first? Shoes or outfit? Outfit first ✅

If you could pick one song to be the soundtrack of your life, what would it be and why? Omg LOLLLL 😂 as a dj/musician I can’t ... this changes monthly, daily, yearly...it depends on where I’m at in my ever evolving life.

How has your hometown influenced your style/taste in sneakers? I think growing up in the south and being the only girl in my family I was always influenced by what my brothers and their friends were wearing. There’s a sauce in the South that made me more open-minded to even the most “masculine” sneakers but mixing them with a dress or a skirt since I was in high school.

If you had to create a hashtag for your life, what would it be? #foreverevolving
