As part of an underrepresented group in fashion , Taji shared what her journey has been like working in the industry . “ My experience working in the fashion industry has been realistic . I have learned that closed mouths do not get fed . If you want to style for a tv / film , music video , fashion show , or magazine , go straight to the source . The fashion industry teaches you to have thick skin . You may hear more no ' s than yes ' s . But , when you hear that yes , it pushes you to do better ,” she told ENSPIRE . It is this presentness that has allowed Taji to create a successfully blossoming business in a competitive industry . Fashion Coffee plans on launching an online boutique in 2022 .
While also being a student at Misa Hylton

Her distinctive eye for style and passion for promoting confidence has created a styling brand that highlights the underdogs in fashion . “ My job is to enhance your confidence without feeling uncomfortable ,” Taji said , “ we come in all shapes , sizes , and curves , which should be treasured . From one plus-sized woman to another , if you leave Fashion Coffee looking and feeling good , that ' s what matters most .” IG : @ fashion _ coffee _
