From Runaway to Runway: Christine Renee’s Journey to Fashion Icon

Shannon Whittington

In this episode, Dr. Shannon sits down with Brooklyn-based fashion designer Christine Renee, who shares her powerful story of growing up biracial, facing bullying, and navigating invisibility—both in life and in the fashion industry. From surviving the challenges of being a runaway to designing for big names and giving back through community work, Christine’s journey is one of resilience, authenticity, and self-love. This raw, inspiring conversation is about turning struggles into strength and showing up unapologetically as yourself.
