An Inspired Chat with Dani Sade

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Dani Sade. Check out our conversation below.

Dani , it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What do you think others are secretly struggling with—but never say?
I believe many people quietly struggle with issues such as authenticity, depression, envy, and accountability. In today’s world, it’s easy to put on a façade and present a version of yourself that fits the moment, rather than being transparent about who you truly are or what you may be going through. Too often, people choose to ‘fake it until they make it’ instead of embracing vulnerability and authenticity. I also notice that when others achieve what we desire, it’s rare to see genuine celebration or support—because envy can overshadow the ability to simply congratulate or uplift one another.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am Dani Sade, a 28 year old woman also known as the “Jill of all trades” who thrives as a plus size model, fashion influencer, fashion stylist, beauty influencer, creative director, graphic designer, musician, and cook.

What makes me unique or stand out from the rest is the fact that I master everything I put my hands on. I don’t stop until it’s done correctly.

I like to think of myself as the muse and the artist. I do everything alone I don’t have a team yet, when I expand more I would like to build one someday. I’ve been in the creative arts for nearly 10 years. I started out with fashion then I transition to makeup and beauty. I realize makeup wasn’t truly where I saw myself being long term, so I went back to fashion and also showcased my others talents as well also along the way as the years progressed.

When it comes to music I’ve singing my whole life at the beginning of 2025 I released my first single called “Wanted to love you”. I do plan to release more music by the end of the year. I honestly would to ghost wrote for some artist we know today.

When it comes to modeling I’ve had the pleasure of being featured in physical magazines, online articles, and I was graced with the opportunity of walking the runway in New York Fashion Week Festival with The Model Experience.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
The part of me that has served its purpose and must now be released is the old version of me. I feel like a lot of people holds on to that version of me. I’m all about evolving and growing, who I am today is nothing like who I used to be in the past.

When you were sad or scared as a child, what helped?
What helped me as a child when I was sad or scared was music. Music was my escape, it was my safe Haven. Anytime I felt like I was alone or wanted to disassociate I always ran to music. Music is actually healing to most people in the world. There are so many songs in the world that everyone can relate to no matter what walks of life you’ve encountered or endured.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes, the public version of me is the real me. I am a “what you see is what you get” type of person. I am 100% percent me authentically all across the board. Over the years, I’ve learned to be transparent within myself. I live in my truth no matter what others have say or how they feel about it. You never know who you can inspire or help with your story or your journey.

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
What I believe some people may misunderstand about my legacy is that it isn’t meant for everyone. The lifestyle and career path I’ve chosen aren’t for all, and that’s okay. I walk with God and go wherever God leads me. Not everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur or to work for themselves—just as not everyone thrives in the traditional 9-to-5 structure. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a 9-to-5; it provides stability and fulfillment for many. However, I feel there’s often a misconception that everyone should follow that path, when in reality, the world needs artists, creators, entrepreneurs, and visionaries who carve their own way. Without us the world would be dull and would have no creative expression. Everyone would be the same, and be doing the same things, so it’s important to have people like us to go after what we believe in while achieving our dreams at the same time..
