We had the good fortune of connecting with Chi Nzepuome and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chi, what’s the end goal, career-wise?
Well the end goal is to become a full time Fashion influencer/ content creator, Entrepreneur. With careful curation in the future I plan to start my own fashion brand; I want the brand to be a reflection of me and all the “avante garde”-ness it comes with. I want to be able to make an imprint in fashion and in the content creation world in general. I consider myself to be a creative and I believe in giving time for a skill to blossom into a career.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Currently I am pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Finance with a minor in Accounting. I am in my final year before I walk that stage. Looking down memory lane I’m excited for what the future has for me. I feel that in this time I am in my life feels like it is aligning in the right ways. I feel my drive and my story sets me apart from the rest I am a sexual abuse survivor and I had ran a way from home right after my high school graduation loosing all connection to my family, I felt like nobody loved me and I felt like I was loosing a piece of myself, making the lifelong friends I have now help make me the strong person I am now. My experiences have made me the strong opinionated person where I be who I am with no judgement. I have learned that sometimes you feel like your life is stagnant but when you really take a second to decipher it you have really come a long way. This is something that I really have to remind myself everyday and also Gods timing is the best timing. I believe everything falls in place when it is the right time.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If it was a weekend trip on Friday night we would have a steakhouse dinner. Planned outfits, I love a good color scheme. (Everyone needs to look expensive), after the dinner we would probably go to a club, or lounge preferably cloud 9, or space. Then we would en the night with some tea back at the house. Then Saturday a brunch at toasted yolk to grab a bite then off to an activity. I love nostalgic moments so I would get everyone to go to Dave and busters, fun plex, or main event. After that we would go get more drinks; somewhere on Main Street. Then we would the weekend off with a Sunday Soul dinner .

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would definitely give a shoutout to my close group of friends. They know a lot about me and have been a driving force to me in finding myself. The me today would not be who I am without them. I always give them a shout out because they have been with me through my hardest battles where I felt there was no way.

The Christmas shoot was a concept that I thought of it is supposed to be a reflection of Jack Frost.
