Meet our friend Leah Vernon. Leah is a style/fashion blogger,+ model, writer, novelist, and body-positive activist from Detroit. Leah is an active Muslim Feminist who was inspired to start blogging in 2013 because there wasn't enough diverse representation of real beauty in the media. Her goals are to continue to spread style and self-love to the underrepresented groups. And to spark a fashion revolution. On top of her killer style, Leah is a talented writer and we find her words especially inspirational. Most if not all of Leah's Instagram posts are delivered with a beautiful picture and inspiring words. So when we heard she was coming to LA, we knew we had to meet her. She arrived at our offices in a cute pair of leggings and sneakers. Being a visibly Muslim woman, Leah asked to try on SWAK styles that would offer her some coverage. She explained that often times she has to layer a top under a dress in order to keep her style conservative. Despite her traditionalism, Leah is wise beyond her age.
