Fang & Fortune
Hi, I’m Emily.
Fang & Fortune is a love letter to the people I admire in this industry for who they are at their very core. In a world that demands an immediate hook, I wanted to take a breath and give humanity a little more room.
We tend to introduce creatives through their credibility - What they have done or what they have to offer in terms of skillset or “fame” - I’m interested in what doesn’t fit on a résumé: their character, their complexities, and how they treat people when there’s nothing to gain.
Fang & Fortune was born from a belief that those who trudge through the bullshit without losing their moral compass are richer in life. Those that continue to be true to themselves despite the world telling them to adhere to the pseudo boundaries created by those before them are the fortunate ones. There’s value in staying true to yourself, especially when “being authentic” comes with an unspoken “within reason.”
I’ve landed in a teensy bit of trouble for being unfiltered and wandering out of my lane. Honestly? I like that about myself. I used to work hard to be liked, keeping things safe and everyone comfortable. These days, I care more about earning respect while still recognizing myself in my actions and words.
Now, I am still very much finding my voice and a rhythm for how I want to lay this all out, so welcome to the beginning stages of this journey. It’s imperfect, messy and honest… Just like us humans - Expect a little mess, some imperfections, and plenty of honesty.
I’m flawed, but undoubtedly fortunate- People from all walks of life trust me enough to show up as themselves.
Getting to meet them there is a gift. This is my way of sharing it.
In a world that keeps asking us to become something else, it’s time to take a bite into something deliciously real.
Forever Fortunate,
Emily
