Winnie Stackz – Hollywood’s Face Of Fashion

Let the church say yes! Growing up in California, surrounded and inspired by the many different facets of apparel, it was pre-written in the books of history for Winnie Stackz to be where he is today. Although he’s now deeply rooted in the pool of the upper echelons, Winnie doesn’t forget to acknowledge where he comes came from. Stackz, was raised in the church. He grew up to become a strong, God-fearing man who ascended to heights he could not fathom. His goal is to become a fashion mogul. Although Winnie now lives a successful life, the journey was not easy. He battled cancer in his twenties. Overcoming cancer and his family to keep him grounded have made Stackz a humble and likeable man.

Q: If you could choose any superpower, what would it be?

Winnie: Oooh! My superpower would be to get rid of diseases. I feel like Covid-19, cancer, and regular diseases take us down. I feel like if I could be the “Mr Disease Snatcher” or something, it would help.
I’m a cancer survivor myself, so I feel like when you get it and beat it, you’re surrounded by people diagnosed with it and dying from it. That’s what my superpower would be to take it away.

Q: What’s one trend or fashion you would bring back?

Winnie: I’m obsessed with the oversized 90’s look. The jackets. I haven’t gotten into the pants because slimmer pants look better on me (Winnie Stackz laughs). I’m obsessed with the oversized look. Usually, it’s a hit or miss with me. The oversized look is just doing it for me right now.

Q: How do you find a balance between being the face of fashion and being a part of Black Hollywood?

Winnie: My little guilty pleasure is that I scurry off to Sacramento, California. It’s where my family is. I reside in Hollywood, but my parents, nieces, and cousins reside in Sacramento. That’s whenever things get crazy. Whenever Hollywood swirls a million daggers at me that I catch and throw back (Winnie Stackz laughs).

Q: What would you tell the younger Winnie Stackz?

Winnie: Breath! Keep dreaming. Don’t let anyone tell you what to do with your life. It’s your life! You can do anything that you want and it can happen! Younger self, let your mom be the rock throughout your whole life span.

Q: What’s your kryptonite? What makes you weak?

Winnie: I think my kryptonite is overworking myself. I’ll take on another client and another client and another client and another. That is my kryptonite. Not seeing money but opportunities. I’m a football player at heart. I’m very competitive. I’m very hard on myself, and I’m very hard on my team.

Q: You’ve accomplished a ton, but there’s a fuller life ahead of you. What are a few goals you have planned?

Winnie: I see myself with a fashion-based talk show! Talking with different fashion socialites. I feel like people respect me and that we can have real conversations about how they got to where they are without “Hollywoodness.” I think that would be something very fulfilling to me because everyone has a story. I’m very much a team player. I like to pat people on the back for all the craziness that they endured to get to where they are. Just how I’ve been patted on the back because it wasn’t easy.

Q: How has beating cancer strengthened your faith, beliefs, and lifestyle?

Winnie: Ooh, girl! I’m going to keep it real with you. We’re going to have a real moment! Before cancer, I was in a dark space. I was not happy with life, I was smoking cigarettes. I just wasn’t together. I was not me. I was working two jobs, and I was just an unhappy camper. I was killing it at work, but after work, it was “close the blinds leave me alone,” and I saw myself going into this dark depression.

Then one day, I was standing at the bus stop in Houston because I didn’t have a car then. I just blacked out. Everything went blue. I woke up in the hospital. Ever since then, I see the world differently. The sky is bluer; I noticed the flowers and the trees. It was like the world opened up to me. I used to walk with my head down. Now, I walk with it up and high. When you’re facing death, it shows you what you love and what you don’t love.

I declared I wasn’t doing anything I didn’t love. Period! You never know when you’re knocking on that door. It was scary, but I was surrounded by so much love. My family, friends, and church took the fear away. Without God, I wouldn’t be here.
