How Jane Michael Ekanem feels seeing one of her pieces on Serena Williams
Fashion entrepreneur, Jane Michael Ekanem is the happiest person on earth right now, seeing one of her piece on American professional tennis player, Serena Williams, in the latest edition of global fashion magazine, Essence.
With this event, Jane Michael Ekanem is encouraging people to trust their journey and keep at their dreams as it would come to pass.
She said,
About this same time 4 years ago, I posted a video of Serena Williams of how she said ‘I want other people to be like me’ when she was asked who she would like to be like. It’s not far-fetched from mine as I always tell people I want to be a better version of myself.
Today, at this same period, I have my piece worn by @serenawilliams, one of the most powerful and most accomplished women in the world wear my Kimono piece tailored and made here in Surulere, Lagos, Nigeria in a global magazine, @essence, in a global fashion edition.
No matter who you are and where you are, when your time is here, your universe will come for you. Keep at what you are doing. Do good relentlessly.
I am just that young black girl who is trying to keep the dreams alive. And as @lupitanyongo would say ‘your dreams are still valid’. I have never doubted my journey even though sometimes I got angry and impatient.
My life is a work in progress and I will trust the process.
A huge thanks to @laolunyc for being the bridge. The art you put on the lapel made it even more attractive.
The kimono was inspired from the #EnergyGod kimono made by @janemichaelcollection for @do2dtun during his photoshoot. The Kimono symbolizes energy and light.
