Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Aaliyah Nelson A.. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Aaliyah , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you recount a story of an unexpected problem you’ve faced along the way?
On the road to success, I been faced with many challenges . I was forced to fight for trademark rights against with one the biggest names in the fashion industry. I was so scared and confused. Why would they think I’m a threat to them ? LOL . But they so the potential of my business and how big it could become. I learned right then , Intellectual properties are so important . You have to invest in your business . After I won the case, I knew God had put this calling on my life to to dress and impact others. I am focused on creating generational wealth for my family. My only regret is not trademarking my business sooner.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I’m Aaliyah Nelson A. ( wife /mom/ fashion designer of Boss Behavior Clothing) I was born in Miami but raised in Atlanta, GA. I have always been fun , creative and self motivated. I love getting dress and hanging out in the city. I started Boss Behavior Clothing in 2012. Boss Behavior Clothing is fashion that is fun for the entire family. I learned so much and met so many incredible people in my journey. This year, I dropped an ebook called The Ultimate T-Shirt Guide on how to start your own t-shirt brand.

Can you talk to us about manufacturing? How’d you figure it all out? We’d love to hear the story.
I outsource my footwear products overseas. Finding a manufacturer is very hard. It is a process. You have to be patient and you can’t be afraid to lose money. You have to research and ask a lot of questions . It’s very important to buy samples. Never buy a bulk of products without first trying out the manufacturer’s samples. Quality and accurate sizes are a big factor in choosing the right manufacturer. Some manufacturers sizes are twice as smaller than the clothes in the USA. Buying samples will save you from a headache and losing lots of money.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
I had to understand alignment. Some people are not supposed to be apart of your brand. Some nos are meant to be. God has already set up the right people in your life. You have to understand and be okay with some missed opportunities. Some nos are a blessing. I learned to see the bigger picture. Forever grateful for the people in my journey.
