As I approach my 30th birthday on August 16th, I'm setting ambitious goals for the next phase of my life, blending my passions and aspirations. Here’s a glimpse into what I’m working towards, and how your support can make a meaningful impact: 1. Travel and Explore Jfashion Communities: I aim to immerse myself in Jfashion cultures worldwide, from Tokyo’s Harajuku to London’s street style. My goal is to transition from a Jfashion influencer to a media and press role, focusing on archiving and documenting stories as a writer. 2. Establish Pink Energy Productions: At the core of my creativity is Pink Energy Productions—a space for spreading positivity through curated content. I’m looking to formally establish this business to enhance my role as a writer and event coordinator. 3. Achieve Financial Freedom: I’m committed to reducing my debt and achieving financial stability, allowing me to focus more on my creative pursuits. This involves exploring better-paying job opportunities or additional income sources. 4. Build a Stationery Shop: I’m excited to create a whimsical stationery shop featuring stickers, prints, poetry, and indie zines. This shop will reflect my unique style and offer inspiring products to encourage creativity. 5. Acquire My Dream Camera and Typewriter: To enhance my media and writing projects, I’m looking to upgrade to an Osmo Pocket 3 for vlogging and a Lemon Smart Typewriter for distraction-free writing. 6. Publish Books: I’m determined to complete and publish my fiction manuscripts. Whether through traditional publishing or self-publishing, I hope to share my stories with the world. 7. Revive Kawaii Riot: I plan to bring back Kawaii Riot in 2025/2026, aiming to provide valuable resources and continue advocacy work in the alternative fashion community. 8. Return to School: I’m considering pursuing a master’s degree in writing and social media, to deepen my expertise and enhance my creative and professional skills. Your support through sharing my work, spreading the word, and making purchases from my shop plays a crucial role in helping me achieve these goals. Every bit of encouragement, whether a social media share or a small donation, fuels my journey. Thank you for being a part of this exciting chapter! Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn to stay updated on my progress and upcoming projects.

It's almost time for the 28 Days of Black Alternative Fashion // 28 Days of Black Jfashion, and we get an extra DAY. This is just a friendly reminder that the hashtag was initially introduced by Hard Decora , a Black Jfashionista who continues to inspire our community. This is now the fifth year of the series, and the archive is available to read! As we approach February, I sincerely hope we can take a moment to celebrate all the Black Jfashionistas and Alternative individuals who make history daily. Yes, it’s the season of lovecore, but it will also be BLACK HISTORY MONTH. I'm looking to spotlight Alternative Fashionistas, share interviews, and collaborate on my blog and socials during this time. Please contact me ASAP if this interests you, or fill out the form linked in my bio. Don't be shy about it either; I'm here to support the documentation of our history in the ways I can, and I want to encourage people from all walks of life.
