Story: My Legacy is Personal

Legacy doesn’t begin when we become adults—it begins in the quiet moments of our becoming. One of the first images I’m sharing is of me as a baby, full of softness and light, a reflection of the gentle, intuitive spirit that’s always been with me. Another shows my mother holding me—her strength, protection, and love wrapped around my small frame. These are the origins of my story, the foundation of my legacy.

Today, I carry that legacy forward through New Vintage by Sam, my creative sanctuary where fashion meets healing. My Healing Hardwear pieces and wardrobe + wellness workshops are born from my personal rituals—practices that help me stay grounded, authentic, and whole. This work is not just about adornment; it’s about affirmation. It’s how I share with others what I’ve learned about self-care, generational healing, and the power of intention.

One image shows me on set, my daughter on my hip—proof that my creativity and motherhood are not separate, but sacredly intertwined. Another shows me leading a wellness workshop for little Black girls, because I believe when you care for Black women and girls, you care for everyone. And finally, there’s a photo of me and my daughter smiling into the camera—two radiant beings, bonded by love, laughter, and legacy.

Every image, every offering, every bead I string is part of a larger story—one rooted in softness and strength, in lineage and liberation. My business is personal because I am personal. I am the work. And my greatest hope is that everything I create becomes a mirror for others to see their own power, their own story, their own beauty.

This is how I honor the past, stay present in the now, and build something lasting—for my daughter, and for us all.
