This is like an OPEN LOVE LETTER to FASHION GODS AND GOODESSES in the space. It's AWESOME to see someone fan girl and show APPRECIATION to those who (unknowingly) helped you get back on the horse or even think of riding!

[@PoliticsFashion]

Whew you pulled out the greats!!! The list of pioneers was top notch and many have fallen off my timelines due to trifling algorithms. Great video as always and thanks for the love ❤

[@MITZZB]

Thank you for this … and lately YOU have been influencing me 😊

[@georgettemayo3696]

Thank You for introducing me to influencers I was not aware of👍🏾👏🏾!!!

[@user-ik1bk3go1e]

Lots of new names and interesting personalities/pioneers. Nice seeing Monroe Steele, KarenBritChic, Jenee Naylor and Awed by Monica on your list.

[@joycemorrow5840]

Your list of pioneers bring back memories of how I was influenced and have passed it on to my 3 daughters. But Carolyn you are a beautiful light that exudes reality,fashion and love. The aura of your personality is so welcoming on this platform.

[@kimnelson2876]

My Virgo sister…you make me smile as a 64 year old fashionista. Love the love for your peers. Truly our lists are similar. Keep up the great content!❤

[@jab0623]

What a lovely love letter to your friends, coworkers and peers!❤

[@jeannette0411]

Absolutely loved this video! Your sincerity and appreciation came straight thru the screen. I was sitting here tearing with you and you weren't even talking about me 🤣! ❤❤❤

[@Nerd_Jee]

I appreciate how you did this video. I watched Chee’s video earlier this morning and saw you featured. Truth be told I’ve always been a fashion girlie (I mean I be putting that sht on too 😂) but you and Chee have motivated me to really get dressed everyday. Especially as a modest Muslim woman who loves all of the fashion. I’m not a shoe hoe but I will rock a sneaker like a heel in a second lol. Thank you for just being you. You remind me of a friend I have in real life lol. I enjoy seeing you be authentic and unapologetic. I love the pouring of love!

[@nalahwright]

Grece Ghanem…. I’ve been wanting to know her for a few months. I’m so excited to get into a lot of the people you mentioned. This was fun. You know, Pinterest is great. But there’s nothing like getting insight into who inspires the people that inspires you-if that makes sense. Thank you for putting me on! Sincerely someone who just cut her long hair into a bob largely inspired by you! ❤

[@CristaStylista]

Agree 100% on Solange. I have a “Style Icon” Pinterest board and she is prominent on it!

[@TheChicCityGirl]

Carolyn, thank you for this! You have introduced me to several new people and I’m so excited to follow them!! I’m inspired by what you’ve done ! 👏🏽

[@leilariley936]

Love your 'crazy passion'for your 'peers',and I can tell it's sincere....that's really admirable and sweet of you Carolyn!! We (especially women)are so freaking competitive with just about ANYTHING....so I have to take this opportunity to applaud you,for showing some love and appreciation to other influencers ,without promoting yourself!!👏👏👏👏Thanks for the introduction...I'm not familiar with most of them;but quiet an impressive group...Thank you Carolyn,and have a fantastic week!!💕💕

[@resilience4680]

I've been watching you for just a little while and absolutely enjoy your content! What gets me is your silliness! You were brilliant at describing each person that inspires you. Enjoyed how you articulated the homage paid to all the girlies ...loved all of it. Bless you.

[@T.Nikki2]

AURETTA is THAT GIRL!!! Every time that she posts on IG, my mouth hits the floor! She’s so fabulous! 🩷

[@vanessagwebu7389]

I always think you and Monroe would be best friend, you have the same humour 😂😂

[@abibee884]

Love your version of this . ❤

[@7even4ourteen]

I can’t wait for the day you make a collection with a brand or even better have your own clothing brand. Girlll I love your style😍 and you know it! we manifesting and praying this on you! ❤️

[@DORCASDIASRIESMAKINGMEMORIES]

I was reluctant to watch this content, because the previous ones were really in my opinion "color-coded" if you get my drift; but, you mentioned people from diverse cultures, home and abroad, young and old, across all social platforms.... And that's what makes you stand out❤❤❤

[@MaryDavisBrown]

I love the way you presented this. Most of the influencers were ones that I follow and am in some way influenced by them. Thanks for introducing me to so many others. I’m now following them. It goes without saying that you are indeed one of my favorite content creator ❤

[@yemmersishere6308]

Carolyn! This list includes so many of my favs and a few in excited to get to know. I also love Tiffany M Battle. The way she mixes print and texture is stellar!! And of course if I was to relate a list....you would be on it as well😊

[@yemmersishere6308]

I'm*

[@nigeriaashana]

Kelly is that girl. Truly my inspiration.

[@bmapso]

You are so special in this space because you are so giving and authentic and so funny! Love this viddo❤❤❤❤❤

[@CharisseKenionYT]

Yessss Amanda Murray is the ONE. Also Ashley, AKA the inspired i is such a beautiful human. Had her on the show during the pandemic and she has the most pure energy

[@deborahrose7047]

Honestly, I didn't realise how much I love your channel until today, I literally jumped up and had to realise I adore fashion expression, thank you for all you do to talk about it....i think i lost it when I felt guilty about fast fashion and world pollution but you brought me the joy again, thank you

[@CharisseKenionYT]

Back again to answer your question on who inspires us: YOU.

[@elizabethtaylor683]

I really love your energy that shinees through on your channel. It feels like I’m catching up with a girlfriend. You have opened up my perspective on fashion to think of how clothes make me feel, not just how they look!

[@Lifestyle_ofTB]

If I made a video like this YOU would def be on this list. I love how you support and acknowledge these beautiful ladies and their craft. Bc yes, fashion IS a craft, and it’s an expression of who they are. It’s amazing how each of them can wear the same exact piece and put their own spin on it. This is why I LOOOOOOVE fashion so much! It absolutely is an expression of art! Thank you CG! ❤❤❤😊

[@musicdr9517]

This is a wonderful list. I especially like that you said a bit about how you were influenced by each.

[@Sotina.]

I love this video. I love all your videos. I’m so happy you mentioned Amirah Richelle and Karla. I love these women. Eyeconic Ash, MOTIVATIONAL! Alyssa and Cassie, yes! Tenika and Chee! The Yusefs! Like, you mentioned so many great ones. And, YOU! I love that I found so many new women to follow. This was a good video. ❤❤

[@Ashley_E.]

This list is everything!!!

[@FashionSteeleNYC]

Thank you babe! I'll tell ya what I'm saying next time I see ya LOL

[@tileeyahrobinson3892]

Such an amazing vlog.I laughed, I cried. I cried laughing 🤣

[@selasijubey8226]

Love!!!

[@theruthjeanbaptiste]

This was an amazing list! Cris Cavallari’s energy and calmness exudes through my screen. Her podcast “Is it Tuesday?” is a must. The Yusuf’s fashion is effortlessly chic and fly.

[@Val--H]

Oh my god, thank you for the Grace Ghanem shout-out! I'm OBSESSED with that lady, but I never knew her name, so I could never do a proper deep photo gallery dive. And it drove me crazy! I would try to Google "stylish old lady" to find photos of her!🤣🤣🤣

[@amandamadinogelekgogola7943]

The way I enjoyed this video❤

[@nicolegari]

Ohhh I am READY for This🍹😊

[@chantalregis2014]

[@valeriedismuke8654]

[@kathleenharris8824]

Carolyn, I love a lot those influencers. When you said The Notorious Kia, I was like yes!!! I am influenced by Monroe, Jenee, I mean!!!

[@dawncoe1293]

Love you including the thrift girlies! Love so many of the OGs you mentioned. Karen, Monroe, and Jenee are the amazing. Cassie is a newer find for me and she and Tashira are so funny too. The Yisufs are a sibling dream team! You have the biggest heart. ❤️❤️

[@bradinabraxton8836]

I just absolutely love you. Keep on shining

[@TakeTheReceipt]

[@melissajamison485]

Omg! This was absolutely beautiful 😍 I am crying my eyes out...Thank you for sharing 🎉

[@lesleegrubbs-king5748]

Love all of these folks. Im in health and research but fashion helps me shift a room. All of you help me to rise up and speak in our health spaces. Thanks Carolyn. You are at the top of my list.

[@alexisagginie4574]

Carolyn, I found this interesting even tho I was not paying rapt attention. I admire Tashira, Monroe, Scout the City and Noorie Ana. I am much older than any of you but you keep me current and lively. I also admire... Sade, Rihanna, Princess Diana and my Mother. Thank you for your inspiration!

[@sondreacroswell5940]

This list was mind-blowing 🤯 !!! I love the love amongst the black influencers ❤❤❤

[@dupestoyou2362]

Thank you so much for this! I was looking for a few new people to follow and this definitely helped me add a few to my list! (I had most of them lol) this was sooo good!

[@carlenemcdonald9625]

[@irenewillis2969]

Love how you broke this down and thanks for putting me on to some others to look out for ❤

[@ellerichseven]

This was much more than I expected. I knew I was gonna get 'fashun' but I didn’t know I was also gonna get to experience you reading aloud a beautiful love letter to your favs! Thank you for sharing folks that I'm familiar with and others new to me. Carolyn, you influence me with not just your style (Imma baseball cap wearing gal now 💅) but with your willingness to be authentic and vulnerable. Your humor/goofiness reflects myself to me and it's heartwarming and (you're) hilarious! I'm glad that the 'al gore rhythms' suggested you to me. You seem to be good peeps!💜

[@coffeeonzeetele]

I appreciate how hard y’all have worked, it took so many years but my algo looks so different now tysm

You, Londongirlinnyc, and Allen Onyia inspire me to find my personal style everyday! It’s a tiktoker named Brittany (effortless.bt) who also inspires me! I love all of y’all so much!

[@tayevionwi_]

Oh I forgot about one more Tiktoker/influencer, Marci Mason is really that girl too! She’s so fashionable! And not to mention Law Roach!!!! I think it’s self explanatory. He always ptso!!!

[@pretti_dope]

Love hearing new names and not just the usual suspects. It shows that there are so many more in this fashion game that we should be looking out for.🫶🏾
