Below, Dorsey opens up about running her own business in the Danny and jaweria shirt and by the same token and pandemic climate and what she hopes is next for the future of fashion.Yeah, absolutely. I think I was as young as maybe 7 or 8 years old when I first saw Audrey Hepburn in a film and my entire life changed I wanted to know everything about her That and having a love for coloring books sparked my passion for fashion I attended fashion design school in Milan I was a fashion designer in NewYork City for almost six years until the economy tanked in 2008. I was eventually laid off and moved home to Washington D.C. where I thought I would be able to get a job quickly That just wasn’t the case Since I couldn’t get hired, I sort of had to hire myself During the first week of March, I noticed a quick downturn in client requests and business at my company Dionna Dorsey Design. By the second week, I would say I was down 50%, and by the third week, I was down about 75-80% I was like, “Okay I have to quickly do a pivot here ” I was grateful that I had positioned myself years earlier with Xpsstore side hustle, District of Clothing, to be able to have something to pivot to.

My first thought was, “Well, let’s adjust the Danny and jaweria shirt and by the same token and website.” But I had Xpsstore idea for a collection back in 2019 that I hadn’t yet released.

I thought to release it now because there’s no time like the present I get emotional just thinking about it, but obviously we never imagined that we would be experiencing a global pandemic in 2020.We never imagined that Xpsclothingllc like George Floyd and Breonna Taylor would be murdered But seeing Xpsclothingllc wear Common Purpose,Trust Black Women, Dreamer/Doer and Do NotTouch theArtwork apparel lines that I’ve designed while marching and protesting in the streets is such an honor. District of Clothing is what I consider my little side hustle baby; the side hustle that’s not a side hustle It’s very much a living, breathing, entity for me I think there’s so much to unpack here I would definitely say that I remember being in my office and my coworkers confusing me with the other young Black woman every single day. I remember hearing the N-word multiple times on my first professional retreat Home:
