Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Our inspiration comes from faith, legacy, and streetwear culture. Rooted in God’s guidance, we strive to outlive ourselves by reminding our city that their dreams are valid - you don’t have to kick like Messi, shoot like Kobe, or rap like Drake just find what you do and do you; OWN YOUR PURPOSE! Our brand honours ambition, and strives to empower under privileged youth and others to break barriers, dream boldly, and leave a mark on their community that outlives them.

How do you stay motivated?

We remain motivated by remaining focused on OUR growth, not on those that may doubt the legacy we're striving to build. In addition, by following designers such as: Jerry Lorenzo (Fear of God)/Francesco Ragazzi (Palm Angels), who are consistently innovating streetwear designs with simplicity and impact.This keeps us passionate and engaged because we're working to serve our community by inspiring youth/others to create their own legacy, by believing the possibility starts with their first step.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, our streetwear brand would scale IMPACT and GROWTH! We'd allocate $10,000 for high-quality materials, expand inventory, and secure store placements/partnerships within Toronto/New York. $7,000 will fund marketing, including social media campaigns, influencer partnerships, and pop-up events. $6,000 will go toward community programs, mentoring youth in entrepreneurship and design. Lastly, $2,000 will support operations, covering legal costs, accounting and software subscriptions.
