It's so hard to have a dream and put yourself out there. Worst case scenario?? yep, you fail...nobody cares about your dream the way you do. But, if we never try then what's the point? Putting yourself out there is half the battle. I'm on my journey to creating and pursing a dream of mine. A fashion magazine! But, not just any fashion magazine.

I always thought that it was so hard to find someone who would just give me a chance. All I wanted was a foot in the door, a chance to show what I had to offer. But, in Dallas, fashion internships and opportunities are far and few in-between. There is wonderful fashion here, but still not as many opportunities as NY or Cali.

So, I thought why not create a opportunity to do just that, give people opportunities. The main core of my magazine will be to provide high school students, college students, and recent grads the opportunity to work on a project that in turn provides them with excellent resume boosters. Here, its like you don't have to pretend that you're not doing this just to build up your resume, lol that's my whole point! I want you too!! Can you imagine what it would be like to say, "Yes, I was the lead photographer for a fashion magazine located in Dallas, TX"!! And then, not only that but have clips of your work; an actual fashion magazine to show them! That to me is AMAZING.

I want to be the one that says yes when everyone else told you no. I want to be the person that says sorry you have too much experience...not that you don't have enough!--I hate when people say that you don't have enough experience. It's like, "Umm that's what I was coming to you for"--- I want you to use the lessons learned with Style Me Daily Magazine and make your dreams come true.

I want Style Me Daily to be the voice of the 18 to 20-somethings out there! You want to know what we're thinking? What we like?! Then, you'll pick up a copy of SMD.

I want us to be industry leaders, taken seriously by our peers and the fashion community. I want us to make a statement, that "Yea, although you may have more years in this industry than me, I still have talent, look what I can do!"

I also decided to make my magazine non-profit. Because the true purpose is not to "make money" or be just another magazine telling you information that you enjoy, but ultimately can't use. I want to give back to the community. Give make-overs to low-income middle and high school students for the first day of school and Christmas; and even the dreaded picture day! You all can remember how excited you were to wear your new outfit to school. Ready to make your statement. Well, not everyone has the opportunity to get the "latest" and I want to give it to them. I want them to know that if you look good on the outside you feel great on the inside! I also want to give scholarships to students interested in careers in fashion & media. And lastly, I want to inspire those little fashionistas out there and create a fashion camp for children ages 7-14! There are so many great things that I think that Style Me Daily could do and be a part of. The sky is the limit in my book.

I truly believe that you can have all the talents and gifts in the world, but if you're not using them to inspire someone else or make this world a better place, what really have you accomplished? You can't take money or fame with you when you die. The only thing you have is the legacy you left behind.

I hope that one day I can inspire somebody, give someone a chance I never had. That to me, would be the ultimate legacy.
