Rolling Through Chi

“Rolling Through Chi: A Glamour Unseen” — A Streetwise Editorial by Thee Kdnae Photographed at Chi Grocery Store, Houston, Texas | May 2025 Rolling Through Chi: A Glamour Unseen is a city-rooted vignette where retro nostalgia meets unapologetic visibility. Gliding through the vibrant aisles of Chi Grocery—a local hub for African, Caribbean, & Hispanic cultures—Kdnae transforms an everyday marketplace into a stylized moment. Here, the ordinary becomes cinematic, & the unseen becomes unforgettable. Set against shelves stocked with flavors of the diaspora, this shoot celebrates the beauty of cultural intersections—where heritage meets high fashion in the most unexpected places. What begins as a quiet roll through Chi turns into a curated collision of identity, movement, & self-expression. With creative direction, styling, & beauty all led by Kdnae—alongside the lens of photographer Gregory Joseph—this editorial explores how presence alone can shift space, elevate mood, & tell a story. All on wheels. Captured by Gregory Joseph (@itsgreg72), this visual moment is a reflection of what it means to show up in full color—rooted in culture, alive in intention. Behind-the-scenes vlog premieres soon on YouTube — Thee Kdnae | stay tuned.
