  • Inspired Minds on Howard Fashion, Black Style & Finding Your Swag

    Wagwaan! Welcome back to Threads N Folks, the flyest fashion pod in the DMV, serving up style, creativity, and Black culture.

    This week, Walt is kicking it with Howard University's own Inspired Minds, the multitalented trio of Nirvana, Amyra, and Kevinah. We're getting into their individual styles, the inspirations behind their fits, and how three different creative minds came together to build something of their own.

    From HBCU fashion and DMV streetwear culture to Black hair, personal style, and the stories behind what we wear, we're talking about what makes their swag theirs. Plus, we're getting into fashion trends, staying true to your style, and how family, culture, and community influence the way we show up.

    Y'all know the drill. Come for the fits and hot takes, stay for the stories and the minds behind the creativity.

    Tune in, vibe out, and tap into another convo from the TNF vault.
