Alterity: reimagining what Blackness and style can look like in new dimensions.
This project reveals a new facet of Zjilea, one that embraces the edge, the raw, and the unexpected. Inspired by the unapologetic energy of artists like Rico Nasty and Doechii, Alterity is an exploration of self beyond convention: a space where alternative Black girl aesthetics thrive without compromise.
Here, Zjilea steps into a different skin, not a departure but an evolution. It is a bold reclamation of individuality, where grit meets glamour, and defiance becomes beauty. This side of her is unafraid, unfiltered, and electric: a visual narrative that challenges what Blackness and style are “supposed” to look like, carving out new ground for authenticity and self-expression.
