from Nyota Issue 20
While most 13 year olds are worrying about school dances or math homework, Erikka Franklin is busy building her own company. Her passion for fashion led her to creating a fanny pack line called Fannysofab. Through her company she has been able to create fanny packs for Kehlani, Kandi Burruss, Young Blacksta, Taylen Biggs and more. Outside of taking over the world of fashion one fanny pack at a time, she also created a non-profit organization called #mychocolatedontmelt to inspire young girls to be themselves. Through her work, Franklin has solidified herself as one to watch.
When did you become passionate about fashion?
I became passionate about fashion when I was about 6 years old. When I was around that age, I created doll clothes out of socks. In that moment I created a genuine love for crafting, fashion, and creating.
