Power Moves Tips: Success is defined differently for everyone. One way to measure your success is to remember where you've been and how far you've come. Give yourself a pat on the back for the big and small things you've accomplished.
Create A Morning Ritual
But let's not deny the power of a strong cup of coffee or tea to get you started!

Power Moves Tip: A morning ritual will help you set the pace for your day. Take at least half an hour in the morning to plan and map your day
Confidence Is Key
Harlem has a life of its own! Notable landmarks like The Apollo Theater embody the music, art and style that define this neighborhood. It has a rich fashion history that sets the trends for many looks we love today like these bold red boots! What better place to capture content for The Werk! Place than in the heart of Harlem.
Power Moves Tip: Even girl bosses get a little nervous. But no matter what room you're in, maintain your confidence. You never know who's watching.
Be True To You
To know her is to know that Tiffany LOVES bold colors. Heading to media events all over the city, it's key to keep that same energy with a fierce head-to-toe look.
Power Moves Tip: Be bold! We're all unique and there's no fun in blending in with the crowd.
Maintain Your Personal Style
Tiffany is the Queen of mix media prints. Her personality and signature style shines through in every look, no matter the occasion. Whether for a meeting with a potential partner or to capture street style looks for her 36K Instagram followers, she never holds back on a great look.
