We recently connected with Fitz Gerald Mckinnie and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Fitz Gerald thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.

I knew i wanted to create my own clothes when i would go to the mall and everybody would have the same thing i always wanted todo my own thing and i never could really find myself in those stores

Fitz Gerald, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I started sew young hand sewing as young as 9/10 my aunt/mama#2 taught me i would sew up everything and cut up everything and bleach everything lol.My friends would also have me make them a costumed fit. For years, my sister, Kelly, and Bestfriend Shlay Would tell me I need to create a clothing line and I will say no I don’t want to my original dream was too be an actor. For years, I would so and it took me coming to Atlanta meeting a few celebrities to really want to take sewing serious 2020 is when I created broken stitches

Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?

I wish I knew you didn’t have to go to college to create your own business. I also wish I knew that you put yourself out there And showcase your talent with your hard-working dedication you can do anything

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

So my ultimate goal for my clothing line would be to create an outfit for someone to wear at the Met Gala and to be invited to the Met Gala that will be my number one goal for my clothing line besides Collab with Clarks wallabee Shoe line
