How it started & how it’s going 💫 I have to reshare this video of me as a child, doing what I love & speaking with so much conviction & passion. Little did I know that I’d go on to do this exact thing as my full time career, but on a much larger scale…sketching up my own designs that are being worn by superstars & working with major brands. It’s pretty surreal to look back on with all that I’ve achieved now. It goes to show how our destiny is already written & can show itself from childhood. When I was at primary & secondary school, being a boy that loved drawing, collecting fashion dolls & was seen as more feminine compared to other boys, I became an easy target & was bullied quite harshly for just being myself. I sometimes still experience similar situations today as an adult, just going about my daily business. Even though I couldn’t wait for my school years to be over so I could focus on my true purpose, I never conformed to fit in. I stayed true to myself & was thankful to have supportive family that encouraged my talent & creative interests from very early on. The things that made me stand out & that I was bullied for back then, are what ultimately got me to where I am today…a self-made, fashion success story! I say all of this to encourage any young boy out there who can relate, who feels different, or that may not have the support system from their family, to never change who you are or let anyone stifle your self expression, passion & creativity. Go after all your dreams, even if you don’t have support. YOU can make it happen for yourself! I believe in you. If I can do it, so can you 🤗🩵
