I woke up in grief again over the loss of my mother three weeks ago. Then this song came on my old Playlist and it hit me that it's time to remember how powerful she was. She taught me gratitude for the strwngth to go on. She read the New York Times and she supported the security of ALL children, all women, all races and all religions. She and I went to the masjid for Ramadan until she got too sick and too weak. She loved this song as both a message and a bop. She stood with her walker and shimmer to this song just a few short months ago. I don't think I'm back yet, but this feels right today. #resistdance #hope #healing #moms

Today I wear Diana The Huntress, and Art Nuveau piece which may be pewter. Mom was Glen Kristi, a Parsons School of Design graduate who attended there from 1948 to 1951. She graduated at the Waldorf and became a fashion designer. I'm creating a website of her work, chapters of her autobiography that I am currently editing for publication, phots, and videos of her life and times. You will meet her at every age, just as I did. Now I will add a jewelry section because it's far more powerful than I realized to wear what was hers, curated by her and carrying her energy and vision. The Devil may wear Prada, my mother wore her own designs and impeccable clarity of vision. She was a force of Nature. I am her daughter. I cared for her for the past four years in my home where she passed on September 12, 2026. #jewelry #momsoftiktok #genx #GlenKristi @TheNewSchool

Walking in Mom's jewelry is a revelation of sorts. I can't wear it without thinking about what I'm wearing it with, so I'm dressing up more. OK, I've been in the pit of mourning despair for nearly four weeks so I have looked like an unmade bed. I did my hair! For no reason other than the jewelry and my mom would be disappointed in the display model that I am now? ❤️‍🩹🤦‍♀️ Mom, a Parsons School of Design graduate is gone, but she's still teaching me why fashion matters. The Devil Wore Prada. My mother wore Chanel or what she designed herself, and always paired with the perfext accent piece of jewelry. Thanks Mom. #GlenKristi #jewelry #momsoftiktok @TheNewSchool
