Fashion – Atlanta

"And now coming to the stage we have Aqua Jo! " announced the host at Clark Atlanta Universitys' spring fest fashion show. My teeth clenched, my heart dropped as this was my very first fashion show and I did not know what reaction to expect from the large opinionated crowd . My name is Shaynequa Jones and I am a self-taught fashion designer from Miami , Florida. At the age of 20 I took a leap of faith and relocated to Atlanta, Georgia to fulfill my hearts desire and pursue my career in fashion design. Currently, at the age of 23 I am proud to say that I embrace my wounds and I've used my many obstacles as stepping stones. I am finally charged up and simply thrilled to dominate the fashion world with my daring yet stunning designs,one garment at a time. Ultimately , I plan to utilize my skills and become one of the top African American female designers ever to emerge. Stay tuned, because the best is yet to come from AquaJo. We may place blame, give reasons, and even have excuses; but in the end, it is an act of cowardice to not follow your dreams.❤️
