My Story
Growing up, all I wanted to be was a NBA basketball player . I started playing basketball at the age of 5 years ,and stop playing once I reached the end of my sophomore year of high school . I realize I lost my passion for the sport , and started to focus more on my love for Fashion , Photography and Art. In 2011 , I was choosing to complete in a competition called USHCC BizFest Young Entrepreneur, which is a three-day youth entrepreneurship contest that teaches high school students how to turn hobbies into profitable business ventures, offering hands-on, practical training for aspiring entrepreneurs, and encouraging students to pursue higher education. For this opportunity I took what I was passionated about and created a clothing line , where I created designs , marketing ,and business plan to present to a panel of judges . After the competition I was choosing Top 3 in State, and which I was later sent to Los Angles to complete against other states. In Los Angles ,we attended networking events where I sat and learned from big companies such as Google ,Disney and many more . Although I didn’t win the second competition ,this experience gave me the motivation that help kick off my career. This opportunity help open up doors and gain more of audience thru social media .After high school , I move to Texas and attended Wade College to further my education in Design
