My brand Stand Strong and Walk Tall aligns with everyday issues such as abuse/bullying, cancer, self esteem issues, homelessness, etc. Many of us are facing these everyday issues or know someone who is. It's about taking a stand!
I started in 2010 when I went to the Learning Annex in NY, NY. There was a class on how to "Start Your own T-Shirt business." Tshirts is a billion dollar business where words and designs are printed. What makes mine different is I think outside the box where my ideas are visual!
I started out as women tees and started branding out to men tees. The point is to have fun with the ideas but also what comes out of it? It's more than making money but making a difference!
I was bullied in school as many others where I was called names, spat on etc. I had to think about what name to choose that stands out. I decided with Lady Walker was the name I chose. First, I am a Lady and Walker is two generations that goes back. My grand father and great grandfather's last name was Walker. I wanted to carry the family name. Far as the brand it was challenging where I not only think about my pain but others. Everyday people go through their issues. I came up with Stand Strong and Walk Tall.
