At age eleven, I was gently guided away from picture painting and into modeling school—not for fashion, but for posture. What began as a correction became a calling. I grew into a fashion model, learning the language of elegance, movement, and presence.

Later, I stepped into the world of construction, where I discovered physical strength, discipline, and the power of fitness. Life was shaping me in ways I didn’t yet understand.

Over the years, I became a caregiver and advocate for family and friends—roles that taught me godliness, compassion, and the quiet strength of faith and love. These experiences deepened my character and grounded my purpose.

I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Arts, Entertainment, and Media Management, followed by an MBA. But it wasn’t until much later that I felt a gentle whisper in my spirit—a divine nudge: “Now, you can use your painting skills.”

That moment gave birth to VALINDA, the women’s activewear brand of Good Works Theatre Inc. I began designing custom prints from my original oil paintings—abstract works of inspiration and empowerment—digitally printed on eco‑friendly fabrics. Each piece became a fusion of art, movement, and meaning.

VALINDA is more than fashion. As an American designer of luxury women’s activewear, I believe each garment should be as unique and personal as the women who wear them. For me, it’s not just about creating clothing—it’s about crafting pieces that empower women to feel confident, elegant, and strong.

This brand is the culmination of a life lived with intention. Every collection reflects my journey— from posture to purpose, from strength to softness, from canvas to cloth.
