i am so glad you’re here…

Welcome to Crowns & Canvas, your biweekly dose of effervescent excellence!

This blog is my space to celebrate all the things that make me, ME– art, fashion, and culture that runs deep in my veins – and how it all intertwines with my own experiences navigating this crazy, wonderful world as a Black woman.

Let's be honest, there's nothing quite like the power of a perfectly timed outfit, right? But fashion, for me, goes beyond trends. It's a canvas for expressing myself, a way to pay homage to the icons who came before me, and a celebration of Black joy. 

With that said Crowns & Canvas is about more than just fly thrEAdz.

As a professor, I'm obsessed with unearthing the stories of Black brilliance that often get overlooked.  And because knowledge is meant to be shared, I'll be sprinkling in some personal anecdotes along the way.  Maybe it's a trip to a museum that sparks a conversation about Black artists, or perhaps it's a dance performance that reignites my passion for storytelling through movement.

This is a space for open hearts, curious minds, and a deep appreciation for creativity. So, grab the wine, settle in, and get ready to explore with me! New posts will be dropping every other week, so be sure to subscribe and stay tuned! 

With love and melanin,

E.
