How Houston's Chasity Sereal went from self-taught designer to 'Project Runway' finalist
"I've always been very determined, and I want my girls to know the importance of following your dreams and making them happen," she said.
She also embarked on a second career as an actor and is currently starring in the psychological thriller"The Reading" with Oscar-winning actress Mo'Nique on BET Plus. The movie is directed by Sereal's good friend Courtney Glaude of Houston; Lee Daniels is producing. Sereal also hosted her first fashion exhibition, called"Growing Pains," at the Harris County Cultural Arts Council. The exhibit featured 10 of her gowns, including several from"Project Runway."
Her designs are dramatic, with layers of ruffles, beads and lace, chiffon capes, midtorso cutouts with rosette sleeves and floral appliques. The exhibition reflected her resiliency, strength and vulnerability as a Black woman and mother.
