It helps keep you on task and getting things done in adequate time. I would start working on projects sooner than later. The Khamari Frazier brand was started in a pandemic. This is my first year of middle school (6thgrade) virtual learning. It has been difficult with school and working.

Believing in yourself .If you can believe it you can manifest it. You have to hold your vision sacred and trust that it will happen in due time.

No one knows your vision, but you.

Passion your heart has to be in it.

Fashion Gxd Magazine :What have been some of your failures, and what have you learned from them?

Answer: Using the wrong needles in sewing. Causing me to have my sewing machine repaired. I had to learn the difference in the needles that I use for every fabric or project. Making sure that I have enough material and fabric. Learning to take my time and not rush. Sometimes you can make mistakes that can cost you. Ex: Having to buy more fabric cause the design wasn't how i envisioned it.

Fashion Gxd Magazine : How many hours do you work a day on average?

Answer: I will say between 3-4 hours a day. Since Covid I have a lot more free time to design more than usual

Fashion Gxd Magazine :Describe/outline your typical day?

Answer: I wake up at 6 am every morning. Take care of my personal needs. At 7am I'm preparing myself breakfast (I love cooking too). 8am virtual school is in session till 3:30 pm. During these hours I'm constantly doing school work. 5pm-7pm I'm normally sitting at my sewing desk creating. I'll eat dinner around 7:30. Take a small break. At 8pm I'm back to creating whatever comes to mind.

Fashion Gxd Magazine : How has being an entrepreneur affected your family life?

Answer: A Lot has changed. My family supports me the most. Everyone is seeing how they can contribute to my business.

Fashion Gxd Magazine :What motivates you?

My motivation comes from seeing people buy and wearing my brand. Also seeing fashion billboards knowing that one day my work will be recognizable. Most of all God giving me talent to use to fulfill my purpose.
