    DISCLAIMER
    Occasionally I am lucky enough to be sent products/clothing free of charge by PR companies, meaning, I may not have paid for everything I talk about. I am not in ANY way obligated to mention these products and if I have done so, it is because I genuinely like them. I would NEVER talk about or show something I didn't genuinely love.
    Sometimes, I may be sponsored by brands for videos. I turn down 90% of sponsorship opportunities. I will not accept unless I love the brand/product already. All products/items will still have been chosen by myself, and the video concept will always be my own idea. I would never endorse a brand/product that I didn't truly love and believe in.
    I use affiliate links in the description box of this channel. This means I earn a very small percentage when you purchase a product I recommend- the same way a sales associate in a store earns commission when they help you select a product. This does not in any way affect the price you pay for the item, and absolutely does not influence my choice of items to show you.
    Lots of love,

    I'm a Black woman, and I've been quietly following you for a few months now, and I'm just SO Happy that you did this.

Thank you!

      SeraLunaCharm I’m a black woman and I’ve been following freddys channel for like 3 years now. I feel like when I showed her platform to my friends they’d say why do you follow her?in a way to say that just because we’re different race we can’t shop or dress similar styles. Her style, elegance and how she holds herself is honestly so inspiring. Her fashion choices is something that I’ve used in my lifestyle as I wanted to come out of my comfort zone and dress on trend but still girly. She has inspired me in so many ways and I am so happy that she supported these black owned businesses and has shed a light on what’s happening in our world. Thank you Freddy x

    You can tell she put her heart into this. She didn’t just pick the same list of brands everyone was passing around. she took the time to do her research. I’ve heard a lot of people make statements, but she was truly authentic. You can tell she actually cared and wasn’t just regurgitating what everyone else is saying. Whoever raised this young women did a really good job.

      2. Freddy, - you must buy that coral pink body lock dress when it is released! It’s not your usual shade of pink or your usual style. However the colour brings out your lovely tan and the gold in your hair. You really stand out and look divine. A must have for you!

Also I have to confess and say though I was subscribed to you, I did feel like I could't fully fit in your content and that's because of MY OWN bias but I genuinely love your content and this has made me absolutely love you more and finally feel a part of :)

    I teared up when Freddy began talking about the messeges she had been recieving. Not only is it heartbreaking how people feel like this around her channel but it also made me realise the sheer privilege that I receive as a white person. I would never think about the possibility that anyone would feel out of place bacause of their skin colour, and I'm dissapointed in myself to have been this ignorant. If anyone could point me in the right direction of ways I could educate myself I would be very grateful. I am truly shocked and overwhelmed that I live in a world like this.

      A library would be a good start. Especially if you're the studious type. Go through to the Black or African American section and browse through there.
      Also, books such as:
      White Fragility by Robin D'Angelo
      White Privilege by Peggy McIntosh
      are books where it focuses on White conversations from a White person's perspective in regards to race.
      On UA-cam, there's some informative links below. From there, it's up to you to take the initiative and do your due diligence.
      I find that sometimes these types of conversations need to also be countered within the comfort of ones own bubble; there's a different level of listening.
      Take care.

    Freddy, as one of your androgynous/feminine-looking gay male subscribers I just wanted to say I am over-the-moon that you've recently become more vocal about celebrating diversity and acknowledging all the different types of people who watch your videos - be they black, white, gay, straight, male or female etc. I have drawn a lot of inspiration from your styling tips etc over the years for my own wardrobe, but a little part of me did always wonder how much you considered those of us who are other races, genders or sexualities. So as a "pretty boy" who is often excluded from the target market (y'know... because men shouldn't wear pink! 🙄), I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so open-minded and accepting of EVERYONE who comes to your channel in search of ideas or ways to feel body-confident.
    Lots of love 💖

And gay pride, trans rights etc are also a current battle that is still being fought which is why I said I'm glad to see those particular minorities finally being recognised and given a platform!

    I’m a young Black woman. I’ve followed you for a little over a year. I love your style! About 3 weeks ago, I blossomed into a butterfly (fashion-wise). I’ve even redecorated my bedroom and bathroom to pink! I’ve never felt more alive...more me!
    I’ve embraced the fact that I am super girly like yourself and that I LOVE pink, burgundy/maroon, and blues. I am head over heels in love with florals 🌸 and pearls!!!
    I’ve admired your boldness from the moment I first watched you. Watching you wear what you want and not care what others say...I just thank you from the bottom of my heart for just being you. You’re so inspiring!
    Watching you has helped me immensely. But I am no longer just watching anymore. I am nurturing my girly girl style with you! Thank you for your content and for this amazing video! Love you, Freddy - from the USA ❤️

    I loved the whole video, and how Freddy was so emotional and sincere about the black girls who watches her channel, but I can't lie, the best part was Freddy face saying that her family went for a walk in the woods in the middle of a storm and she couldn't 😂. That's the kind of genuine moment, I mean "Freddy's moment" that makes she my favorite UA-camr ever. She can make me smile even when I'm said, just for being so cute and funny without faking it. Thank you Freddy. I hope we could have more channels like yours here in Brazil.

It takes all colors to be a proper rainbow! The world is a kaleidoscope, let's make a rainbow, together! I loved this vlog, Freddy. It is the best I have ever seen from you! Followers, the gloves are off. Freddy did all the work, let's pick up the gloves and follow through. None of these designers sponsored this vlog....she has to disclose when she is under contract! This comes straight from her heart❤🖤💙🖤💚🖤💛🖤🧡🖤💜🖤LOVE ABOUNDS

    Thank you Freddy, I've been inspired by you and your confident style choices for a while now and you've inspired me to not feel like I have to always conform to the trends that some people expect me to wear as a young black women. I've been told that I can't dress like you because of the colour of my skin. And to be honest I did believe it for a while. But watching how you dress and not care about what others think is truly inspiring 💗. Thank you for supporting black people and using your platform to spread love.

    lovely to see this video freddy! would love to see you discussing this sort of thing in the future with all brands e.g. topshop/miss selfridges's owner is notorious for mistreating employees and evading tax, it's so important to think about politics in everything we do, including clothes. ps your fringe looks wonderful in this video xx

    now who would’ve thought that I will be crying, watching Freddy’s video? not me. as someone, who will never truly understand nor experience all the injustice, black people, people of color are facing - sadly and absolutely unacceptably - on a daily basis all around the world. but we can do our part in helping and fighting and changing the system. and seeing Freddy so wholeheartedly and passionately speaking about inclusivity on this channel made me cry and smile, while I was nodding to every word all along. shows just how beautiful Freddy is inside - we knew she was, but it’s another confirmation -, and that her inner beauty is reflected in her gorgeous looks. as for the video! amazing quality as always! and favorite part was undoubtedly Freddy’s little smirk after ‘my family is on a walk in the woods, SADLY I couldn’t go’, - got me crying of laughter for minutes! 😆 and all the pieces are absolutely gorgeous! I the baby blue two-piece is the cutest ever. also the Dress!? the pistachio one is flawless, already iconic and should be rewarded as The Dress. and no I’m not taking any criticism on that. I think the pink ver. is a bit too bright, but stunning nevertheless! and the basket bag? so beautiful, that shell detail is so simple, but so beautiful! thanks, Freddy for another great video, wonderful message and your beautiful heart 💕

    FREDDDIIIIIIEEE MY LOVE!!! You did what you said you would do and you OUT DID YOURSELF! Sooooo pretty, and so you! Thank you so much chica, this touched me deeply and inspired me at the same time. You look beautiful in everything but the short set and that teal dress!! Gurl!!! Yasss! You looked fabulous! Now, last week, I went to your Pinterest and completely gushed over Grassfields!! Followed them immediately on Insta so I could see more of their beautiful garments. I adored the babydoll one that was on your Pinterest and couldn't wait to see you try it. Sooo disappointed it didn't come in time. 😢 Would you please feature it in your next video! Dying to see it live. Lastly, thank you for your heartfelt message in the beginning. I have to say, I follow so many fashion and beauty British content creators, and of the non black influencers I subscribe to that make so much ado about Black Lives Matter, talking about how they feel and who they are donating money too, you (sadly) are the only one who seems...dare I say...GENUINE. Really. I feel you girl. Keep doing what you are doing! Can't wait to see more! Love from Toronto, Canada!
