About Me

Welcome to the Queendom of Silently Loud, where creativity reigns and empowerment is our mantra!

 

Allow me to introduce myself: I'm Kristianna, a fierce sewist hailing from a small town in South Jersey, now proudly calling Philadelphia home. Sewing, once deemed mundane in my eyes, evolved into a remarkable source of joy. It's a gift passed down through generations, from my mother to my grandmother and even further back. This craft is woven into my DNA, and I embrace it with all my heart.

In 2008, when my beloved grandmother left this world, I realized the depth of her love and influence on my life. Memories of our adventures and the cherished photo she carried in her pocketbook spoke volumes. Before her passing, she gifted me a treasure trove of what some might consider "granny" jewelry. She noticed the necklaces I adorned, reminiscent of the vintage pieces she cherished. To this day, I proudly wear those items, relishing in their uniqueness. Vintage accessories and rare finds have become my passion—it's my jam.

As a lifelong social justice warrior, I've always had a lot to say. At times, finding the right words could be a challenge, as I navigate the world as a naturally awkward black girl with an abundance of spunk. But we all have our outlets, the means by which we express ourselves. I hope you've discovered yours.

For me, fashion has been the canvas upon which I paint my voice, and my relationship with sewing has flourished over time. As a sewist, I still have a lot of truth to share and stories to tell.

If you find my work to be a bit spicy, let me apologize for I'm just getting started. The fire within me is only beginning to ignite, and I'm eager to unleash its full potential.

Welcome to Silently Loud, a place where fashion, self-expression, and unapologetic empowerment converge. Join me on this thrilling journey, and together, let's make some noise in style.
