Picture this: a Capricorn with a Sigma soul, an introvert who turned her lifeâs chaos into art that speaks louder than words. Iâm Kimberly Ann Hawesâaka Kimmaâand Iâm unapologetically unfuckable. My lifeâs been a symphony of struggles and triumphs, remixed with beats of hip-hop, rhymes of resilience, and a rhythm that never misses. From poverty to posh, Iâve crafted my world, blending Afrocentric elegance with the imperfect beauty of Wabi-Sabi. My art, my words, my storyâtheyâre all mine, and now, theyâre for the world.
In 2023, I discovered digital art through a blend of desperation and destiny. My son suggested I try MidJourney and ChatGPT, and from there, the game changed. One viral TikTok post featuring an old-school hip-hop image with The Bridge by Boogie Down Productions set the stage. From creating raccoons (shoutout to Rooney) to pieces that hung in the mayorâs office and made it to Paramountâs Mayor of Kingstown, I went from local to global. My artâs now in galleries across Switzerland, Italy, France, Dubai, and beyond. And yes, receipts are postedâbecause every hustle needs its proof.
But itâs more than art; itâs a lifestyle. My Afrocentric x Wabi-Sabi aesthetic wasnât just found; it was built. Being a Black woman who rediscovered Afrocentric dĂŠcor and a lover of Japanese minimalism, I fused the two into a signature style that screams, “I donât fit in your boxâI make my own.” This uniqueness fuels UnFuckable, my brand that celebrates being different, bold, and beautifully imperfect.
Iâve worn many hats: paralegal, criminal investigator, financial planner, menâs stylist, and yes, even operations manager at a five-star strip club. Each role, no matter how unconventional, taught me to hustle harder and dream bigger. My career took flight the day I was fired from a Pilates companyâturning loss into leverage is a skill Iâve mastered. Now, my art and business collide, creating a movement thatâs as lucrative as it is liberating.
I live by my own manifesto: be bold, stay authentic, and always exude luxury. For me, luxury isnât about labels; itâs about freedom. Itâs the off-the-shoulder sweatshirt I cut myself, the budget-friendly outfit that looks runway-ready, and my signature scentâa custom gardenia blend. Authenticity? Itâs walking into a room, wigs on rotation, feeling like every version of myself is the best one yet.
Iâm also an author and creator, with books, blogs, and apps that motivate and elevate. My alter ego, Chi Chi LaRue, adds flair and fire, reviewing books (mostly mine), pimping prompts, and throwing down fashion critiques. Transformation is my gameâwhether itâs through art, style, or mindset. My secret sauce? A no-BS approach mixed with a lot of heart.
2025 is my year to expand. My art will grace the August Wilson Center, and Iâm heading to Japan for three monthsâa dream come true. But Iâm not stopping there. My challenge for you this year? Own your unfuckable spirit. Find what sets your soul on fire, and donât just chase itâdemand it.
âBeing unfuckable isnât about perfection; itâs about owning your flaws, flipping the script, and writing your story in bold letters. So, in 2025, stop holding back. Be loud. Be real. Be you.â
