It's definitely been a year and a half! But I feel It's definitely been a year and a half! But I feel I probably say that for every year 😅

2025 you really tested me. I came out top a couple of times, then tried to keep smiling through the hurdles I just couldn't jump over.

Thanks to all who supported and I can't wait to see what 2026 brings. Spoiler alert - smiles and laughter WHATEVER the outcome 🙏🏾

2025 reflections... In June I wore a bright @ByKal 2025 reflections...
In June I wore a bright @ByKalaX skirt to a House of Lords reception hosted by @britainsmallbiz.

Again I went without knowing if I would see any familiar faces and if I'm being honest, I did have a moment where I questioned if my outfit was too much for the event and venue. 

I thought about dimming my light to make others feel more comfortable and my train of thought went a bit like this...
Are my clothes too bold, too bright? My glasses too big?
Will this outfit make me stand out? Will I fit in? Will I be approachable? Am I too BLACK?

Then I thought about my own mantra of taking up space.
If my bold style - my appreciation of my culture - makes others uncomfortable, is that my problem or theirs? I'm a professional here to excel. 
Sorry, not sorry. Here's to more in 2026 ☺️

Approaching the end of 2025, it's an obvious time Approaching the end of 2025, it's an obvious time to start reflecting on highlights from the year, so I thought I'd use the twixmas period to share some throwbacks.

First up is a recent one, a proud moment celebrating @bykalax's entry into the @growlondonlocal festive gift guide.

2025 was also the year for me to embrace solo networking - basically going to events by myself to represent my brand. This has allowed me to connect with lots of new faces and people I already knew but never had the chance to chat properly to before.

Stepping out of your comfort zone is never easy but either way I would say it's always worth it.

Would you go to a networking event solo?
