“In the process of constructing the garments I was trying to find a name for the collection. As I was talking to God and listening to a sermon, God revealed to me the word “Reclaimed.” During the past couple years, I was dealing with heartbreak and personal trauma. Simultaneously, I was trying to find my footing in the real world. Being a young African American woman trying to find her identity while working tirelessly to make her dreams a reality is the heavy load to bear day in day out. But all of the loss and emotional uprooting I experienced was all for a purpose: character development, strengthening, spiritual growth, healing and much more. God reclaimed every ounce of my self-worth, self-love and awakened me spiritually.” — Amari Moneé
