Essence is the recently graduated Ivy League doll whose work sits at the intersection of fashion, culture, and identity. She first came into view documenting her experience as a Black trans woman in academic spaces, offering a lens that was both personal and sharply observant. Now based between New York and Chicago, she moves fluidly between nights out and curated archives, blending beauty, storytelling, nightlife, and style into a singular visual language. Her hair journey continues to resonate with her diverse audience, grounded in ritual, care, and visual expression. Her world holds both the glamour of fashion and the rhythm of the night, each as intentional as the other.
