I’ve never seen a plus-size indo-Carib Latina Brooklynite superhero other than in my dreams. Maybe even if there was some in one of those descriptors that be awesome! But for now, dreams it is. It’s one of my favorite kind of dreams, discovering I have some sort of supernatural ability and getting to defeat evil with them lol. There is one dream that I remember that particular stands out. We were in the middle of war. And all of a sudden, across the USA, supernaturals started popping up every where. And bc the gov’t saw them as a threat they started killing them off. Specifically children bc they showed the most potential to wield great powers. The gov’t didn’t care for the old because they thought they would die soon and for young adults bc they stopped believing they were expected to have fading powers. I was one of those ppl. I stopped believing. And all I could muster up was a small bit of fire in the palm of my hands. But I was determined to figure this out. I couldn’t stand by and watch children be taken from their homes led into slaughter. I remember watching this one boy with telekinetic powers. He was probably around 4 years old, playing with letter blocks that he lifted into the air to swirl around us. He did it was such ease, never questioning or doubting himself, just as he would never question how to breathe. That ignited something in me. That’s the high faith I wanted to have. Both in the dream and in real life. This dream is about a decade old and it still stirs me on! What super power have you dreamed of having? Or what super power would you choose to have?

Having community that supports you, lifts you up, encourages you, prays for you, plays CATAN with you, slays with you , and simply does life with you is so important. I am grateful that I have that in my @zionnyc fam. Had a blast discovering God and spending some quality time with my family in the woods this past weekend. #TheWalkHome 🥰 Some memorable moments: • praying with others • falling asleep during a midnight Catan game with Joel, Marylin, Taylor, Dave, and D.Gilbert • The Events team killing every second of it! Thank you @alishavarughese @velalexis @marylin730 Joe and Stevieana!!! • Ramen!!! With Winnie, Kimberly, Fiona and Stevieana •Watching everyone turn each other into 🧟‍♂️ zombies in the murder mystery game 🤣 • The Speakers!!! • And the ridiculous prices of Cracker Barrel

Another nightmare I get often is one where it’s a race against time. Usually, I’m back in school and I can’t seem to find my classroom and everyone is rushing to class while I swerve through the hallways trying to figure out what class I even have. So strange, especially since I finished school so long ago. Also, did not create a mood-board for this one. Just worked off the top of my head and a really bad doodle lol.

Reposting this, bc it looks like @Instagram was down earlier, and most of you missed it! Please like, comment and share if you like this new edit! Ok so I’ve never really dreamt of a circus in the sky but I do have a lot of vivid and whimsical dreams with full story lines. Some times it feels like I’m watching a movie. I have written a few of these dreams down to included them into stories I’m writing. Does anyone else have super vivid dreams? Also this has been the first time in a long time I got to play with creative makeup for the shoot. I missed it. Swipe to see the makeup close up.

𝗭 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗭𝘇𝘇 And that’s my imagination from A- Z. Now it’s time for a little sleep lol. But this is not the end, because when we sleep we dream and the possibilities are endless Editorial Fashion can be such a superficial outlet, but in my journey to recreate and redefine what beauty can look like in this medium I discovered the depths of what it could be. The layers beneath and behind the image. The chaos, the release, the heart, the play, the imagination, the creativity, the hope, the dream, the insecurity, and the story. I also hope I have been able to prove here that diverse representation in editorial fashion, and in the fashion industry in general, is needed and when done, can be absolutely beautiful. And for those asking what’s next and are just as sad as I am to see this series come to a close, guess what? my #editorialfatshion journey has just begun! So expect more projects like these in the future! I just may have something up my sleeve coming soon! I hope this project spoke to you and encouraged you!

Periodically I have this dream where I can’t move or if I try, it’s like I’m moving in glue, or quick sand. It’s more frustrating than scary, but there always seems to be some sort of impending danger I’m trying to flee from. Have you ever had this kind of dream?

𝗬 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂 Take the time to know you and love yourself. Appreciate who you are. The rest of the world may not reflect the beautiful things in you and tell you you are loved. But know that you are! You are brilliant and lovely and worth celebrating. You are wonderfully and fearfully made. And when the world can’t see that, make sure that you do and then share your kind self, so that they do too. It’s been so empowering to speak something that’s important to me and I know means something to others. Now it’s your turn! What is it that you want to say. What is it that you want to reflect and put out into this world. As this project comes to a close I feel empowered to do more and to follow my vision of storytelling through all kinds of mediums that celebrate the diversity of all that we are. And I am utterly grateful to each of you who have been so supportive, who have shared, commented, connected with me and encouraged me! So many of you have also expressed this series has inspired you to make some changes and start new projects. What are you waiting for? What is that you will say? What will you reflect back into the world? __ These images are apart of my new project: An A-Z Editorial Fashion Journey of a Curvy Brown Girl. ‍♀️#EditorialFatshion A new letter will be released daily until ‘Z’.

Some of the best dreams I’ve ever had, have been ones in which I am flying. I have them often. And taking off the ground always feels so natural, like I have been flying forever. It’s definitely my favorite kind of dream. I’ve spent many nights flying over Brooklyn rooftops and feeling the wind break before me. It’s such a freeing and exhilarating experience. Have you ever had a flying dream? I always wake up pumped to take on the world! This image is part of my new “Dream a little Dream...or Nightmare” series.

𝗫 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗫𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗮𝗹 Xenodochial is just a big word for friendly, really. It’s literal meaning from Greek is “Friendly to Strangers.” When brainstorming a concept for X I had a hard time finding a word/theme to pull together considering there are only so many “X” words to work with lolllll. Someone even suggested Xenophobic. But then I came across Xenodochial. I thought, instead of focusing on prejudice towards other cultures, why not celebrate friendliness to strangers, something we need to grow in our culture. We can either close doors or extend hands to those we don’t know. When it comes down to it, most people have prejudices or preconceived notions of a group of people or will make assumptions about someone base on how they look. A lot of that comes from a place of fear, having to engage someone different then you. I think it’s a beautiful thing when we create a culture that feels like home for everyone! My hope is that when I meet new people my love for them is tangible, that they feel welcomed and at home. And I also hope, as a society we learn to be more xenodochial! If any of you feel excluded, unseen, rejected, know that I, your Steph, am here! I support you, believe in you, love you even though I may not know you! I hope even on this platform we create a xenodochial culture. For this shoot I sent out an invite on instastories to see who would be interested in joining me. I wanted to meet so many of you. But only one of my followers was able to make it (other than my sister-in-law) and here is what here experience was like: CONTINUED ⤵️
