@mylifeasdonnie: as i step into this new chapter, i’m flooded with gratitude. if you’d told baby me that this would be my life—i’d be living in my dream city, working in fashion, surrounded by chosen family, and more myself than ever—i probably would’ve laughed… but deep down, i always knew. back then, baby donovan wanted world domination (still do), but the true mission was becoming me. my twenties weren’t just years, but an initiation into a sacred balancing act: softening into my femininity, grounding in my masculinity, and fine-tuning the light within. from leaving my old kentucky home at 21 and taking that leap to tampa (shoutout to the swamp), to moving across the country to LA with two suitcases, a backpack, and $300—i chased a vision no one else could see. and now? i am that vision. to my tribe—those who’ve walked beside me seasonally or permanently—thank you. through every win, loss, heartbreak, and breakthrough, you reminded me that with resilience, grace, and a little delusion, anything is possible. this shoot was a celebration of my own duality—masculine meets feminine, grounded meets ethereal—styled through the lens of @i-D, @Vogue, @GQ and the ever-iconic @Naomi Campbell. thank you @elan for helping bring this vision to life & @LA VERNE HAIRSTYLIST on the hair (per usual 💅🏾). forever grateful. here’s to more love. more life. releasing control. and stepping fully into my power. this is only the beginning. 🥂✨🤎
