Prom: Nicholas Orji & Martina Madubuko

Yesterday, my brother Nick went to prom. He is a senior at my alma mater Archbishop Carroll High School in Washington, D.C.

 Being the queen of ankara print fashion, I wanted to make sure him and his prom date looked superb in true elegant ankara style.

I think I did an awesome job. Especially for someone who started making bowties 2 years ago! *Pats self on back.
