We had the good fortune of connecting with Cornell Lewis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cornell, what do you attribute your success to?
At the core of Sharp Love Production’s unparalleled success lies our unwavering commitment to transcending the conventional boundaries of a mere fashion show company. We stand as believers in the transformative power of creating an uplifting and inspiring experience for every artist we collaborate with. Our brand’s triumph is intricately woven with our steadfast dedication to providing a platform that extends far beyond the spotlight, serving as a launchpad for artists to showcase their boundless talents to a global audience. This process, we firmly believe, nurtures the seeds of confidence and self-worth, empowering these artists to bloom as beacons of creativity and change.

The empowerment gained from being part of our platform becomes a catalyst for them to inspire others, creating a chain reaction of positivity that transcends art and transcends fashion. Sharp Love Production’s success, therefore, is not just defined by the accolades we receive but by the lives we touch, the narratives we amplify, and the enduring transformations we spark within the artistic and communal tapestry.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My journey commenced on the runway in Montgomery, AL, and took me through pivotal experiences with Keep Productions and The House of Suave. This path, however, was no walk in the park. I faced the challenge of building my self-assurance from the ground up, contending with numerous “NOs” and doubts about my capabilities. Yet, these obstacles became the very fuel that ignited my determination. With unwavering effort, I persevered, paving the way for opportunities to model in New York, Atlanta, and New Orleans. These experiences not only honed my skills but also fueled my confidence. It was this newfound self-assuredness that led me to collaborate with Kayla Vaughn and co-found Sharp Love Production. This venture stands as a testament to the transformative power of resilience and determination, and I’m eager to continue crafting a journey that inspires others to embrace their unique paths with unwavering conviction.
